阿尔伯塔联合保守党已批准2.5%的工资增加,这是自2013年以来的首次加薪, Alberta's United Conservative Party has approved a 2.5% salary increase for MLAs, the first raise since 2013, along with an extra $1 million in funding for the caucus. 这一提高从4月开始,但追溯至1月,意在与公共服务费率一致。 The raise, starting in April but retroactive to January, is meant to align with public service rates. 支持者认为,这将加强对选民的司法协助服务,而批评者则认为,在生活费用危机期间,这一服务是自利的。 Supporters argue it will enhance MLA service to constituents, while critics see it as self-serving during a cost-of-living crisis.
