Finance committee  No, I haven't done that for the judges. I'm sorry.

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. As members will know much better than I, there are about 413 members of the House and Senate, and the average salary is about $160,000 a year for those two groups, roughly. So each member will be having a freeze, a loss of 1.5% this year. That will be about a loss of $2,200 times 413.

Finance committee  No. Judges are captured by the Judges Act provisions, which apply separately, so these changes simply reflect provisions for members of the House and the Senate and the Prime Minister and ministers.

Finance committee  Perhaps, Mr. Chair, I could answer it in a slightly different way. In 2005 Parliament adopted a change to parliamentary compensation whereby, instead of having MPs' and senators' salaries linked to judges' salaries, they were tied to a formula of private sector wage increases. So members of the House and Senate would receive an increase every April 1, based on the previous year's wage increase for the private sector.
