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.
The legislative approach for judges is stipulated in the Judges Act and has a separate process.
