I have another question that I'm hoping Mrs. Block can help me with.

In 2012 the Governor General was paid $137,939 a year, and that salary doubled in the next year to $270,602. While we're having discussions about cutting the Governor General's budget, why did we double the pay to the Governor General in that period of time?

Was it the transfer, or is there some explanation for that?
