MPP Pension and Pay Raise — Botched Rollout Triggers Caucus Rupture
Bill 34 gave MPPs a 35% pay raise and scrapped their old pension plan — but the new plan failed to credit members' prior legislative service, leaving many facing personal buyback bills over $200,000. Ford scrapped a planned $35 million taxpayer top-up fund amid backlash over a separate $28.9 million government jet purchase, then fired PC caucus chair Will Bouma after Bouma confronted him about it.
