Government documents acquired by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) reveal that 114,443 employees received a salary of more than $100,000 in 2021. The number of employees receiving six-figure salaries increased by 45,426 during the pandemic.
The CTF is calling on the federal government to release a sunshine list similar to the Ontario government’s, in which salaries of public sector employees are publicly disclosed.
“We’re not all in this together,” said Federal Director of the CTF Franco Terrazzano.
“It’s not fair to ask the Canadians who lost their job or took a pay cut during the pandemic to pay higher taxes so the federal government can add thousands of highly paid bureaucrats.”
