Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to go back to the changes made to the Governor General's compensation.
Reviewing the methodology around this, the government's assuming that he's earning at least $134,000. Of course he's earning other income that's not related to his position; that was clarified earlier. You're assuming in terms of the calculations we've made that he will pay the top marginal tax rate on all of his salary as Governor General, instead of a portion of the salary in each of the tax brackets, as Canadians would do.
Why did you calculate it that way? Why wouldn't you assume his taxes would be paid at different percentages based on different strata of income, based on thresholds of income within the tax system?
