Move up my Member of Parliament election plans, so I can get some of that sweet, sweet, tax payer cheddar.
MPs hike expense allowance by 20 per cent
Members of Parliament are welcoming their three month hiatus from Ottawa along with a 20 per cent increased allowance... MPs will now get $24,000 a year -- $2,000 a month -- to pay for living in an apartment or hotel in Ottawa. The increases accompany a soar in MPs' salaries by 34 percent, to $147,000.
