The new legislation proposes changes to the&nbsp;<em>Legislative Assembly Act<\/em>&nbsp;to end this freeze, raising the base salary for MPPs to 75 per cent of the compensation (sessional allowance) of federal Members of Parliament (MPs). This adjustment has previously been recommended by the Integrity Commissioner and would increase the base salary of MPPs to $157,350 per year, effective the day of the 2025 election. Annual increases will be tied to federal MP salaries, ensuring that MPP compensation remains competitive and reflective of inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government is also proposing a new defined benefit pension plan for MPPs, integrated with the Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP). This plan would replace the current retirement savings arrangement, providing MPPs with a robust and secure retirement benefit. If passed, MPPs will be able to access their full pension benefits after six years of service, starting at the conclusion of the current session of provincial Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The new pension plan for MPPs would be integrated with the Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP). MPPs would join the PSPP on the same terms as other members, plus receive an additional supplementary pension benefit. This new arrangement would replace the current retirement savings plan, which provides a contribution of 10 per cent of salary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The new pension plan would take effect on January 1, 2026, and would include a supplemental benefit for MPPs who serve at least six years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For 2025, a City of Toronto Councillor&#8217;s salary is set out as $170,588.60 and the Mayor of Toronto\u2019s salary is set out as $231,635.04.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the province of Ontario With the support of all parties in the legislature, the Ontario government is&nbsp;introducing new legislation to adjust compensation for Members of Provincial Parliament (MPP), including [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":185363,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-191778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
