Not when it comes to a politician's pay. I mean, if someone is earning pay for work that is not related to being an elected official.... For example, if you yourself have a part-time job delivering newspapers or something and you get income from that, by all means, that's your private information. When you receive money from the House of Commons and the taxpayers, we believe that information should be public.
