PAY RAISES FOR ALBERTA BUREAUCRATS

Pay increases for Alberta bureaucrats are costing the province’s taxpayers $18.7 million according to a new report.

Documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayer Federation (CTF) through freedom of information reveal the Alberta government gave pay raises to 7,384 bureaucrats in 2020. Only nine people were exempt or opted out of the raise.

The CTF’s Alberta director Franco Terrazzano says it is clear we are not all in this together and is calling on Premier Jason Kenney to assure these pay raises do not increase taxes for Albertans.
