Key resolution from the National policy platform

Title: Base wage act

Introduction
The original idea came from a political cartoon in the 80s showing Brian, John, and Ed on the UP escalator and the general Canadian workforce on the DOWN escalator. This representing wages for each but it’s the taxpayers of that general workforce who pay the salaries of Mr. Mulroney, Turner, and Broadbent! The salaries of those in the public sector should be aligned in some manner with those of the private sector.

Be it resolved
It is a plank in the national platform of the Federalist Party that a Federalist government shall introduce into Parliament and the Federalist Members of Parliament shall vote for a base wage act.

All salaries and benefits paid to those hired by the government of Canada shall be a multiple of the base wage this is called the base wage multiplier (BWM). The base wage is set solely by the House of Commons with a motion of adjustment passed by the House by a two-thirds majority vote. The base wage is to be currently set at $900.

Be it further resolved
That Statistics Canada by April first of each year shall determine the average annual full time salary and the average monthly unemployment rate for the preceding year. The unemployment rate shall be subtracted from the annual salary and divided by 52. The first number to 2 significant figures that is equal or higher shall be recommended to the House of Commons to be set as the Base wage for the government of Canada. This shall go into effect on July first of each year.

Be it further resolved
That unless stated otherwise all employees shall be paid a Health and retirement benefit equal to half their weekly salary paid to them each month. This compensation of employment is paid directly to the employee.
Summary
Using an annual salary of $51,300 and an unemployment rate of 6.9% this gives you a base wage of $920. That is (51300 – 6.9%) / 52 = 918.47 round up, two significant figures for 920. If MPs had a BWM (Base Wage Multiplier) of 3.5 their employment compensation would be a weekly salary of (3.5 * 920) $3,220 or $167,440 a year and a Health and retirement package of $1610 per month or half their weekly salary. This gives you a total of salary plus benefit of $186,760. What they currently receive is $160,200, plus that gold plated pension plan, plus Health benefits, and what ever else they voted for themselves.

The Les Nessman of Revenue Canada has just called. Naughty, naughty, you got caughty!

You have made deduction claims that you’re not entitled to so what happens ? There’s an investigation to establish the amount you owe then a review if you dispute that amount. Why couldn’t that have done with Senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, and Patrick Brazeau? Establish the amount of fraudulent expense claims for each and they lose their full weekly salary until the loss of income equals or exceeds that amount. No RCMP, No PMO, and No Stephen Harper tossing more conservatives under the bus!

Using Senator Brazeau as an example he owes $48,745 for inappropriate expense claims. The base salary of a Senator is $135,200 annually or $2,600 a week so he loses his salary for 19 weeks or $49,400. A first offense you lose your salary and with a second then consider suspension. With a third offense suspension should always be the penalty.

Senate scandal

Just call him Mike “show me the money” Duffy. I’ve lived long enough where these spending scandals are just so “old liberal” been there seen that. Here below is a different way to handle Official expenses.

Article 6.5 of the party’s provisional constitution states: All senior and junior Officers of the Party are appointed by order of the Executive. Executive Officers and terms of the Officers shall be set in a National officers bylaw.

The National officers’ bylaw would set the terms and compensations of the officers of the party. Under the draft I have written but not published the senior officers of the party are full time positions and receive the following benefits.

A weekly salary of X times the base wage. The base wage is an amount of money set by the National executive and all compensations are a multiple of this amount. When you change it you change the financial benefits of everybody top to bottom.
A monthly contribution to their RRSP of X times the base wage. This is their pension.
The ability to submit to the National executive an OEA an Official Expense Appropriation. The National executive by a majority vote by secret ballot can reimburse the officer of 25% of the OEA, by a 60% vote 50% of the OEA, by a two-thirds majority vote 75%, and by a three-quarters majority vote the entire amount of the OEA. A motion in the National Assembly can overrule this decision. The officer who made the OEA or a member of the Assembly under its standing orders can make this motion. Any decision by the National Assembly is final. The party is under no obligation to reimburse any Official Expense Appropriation.

All senators should only have 2 compensations, a weekly salary, and the ability to submit to the senate an OEA for reimbursement of expenses incurred for official duties. It would be at the senate’s sole discretion to reimburse a senator’s OEA and to what amount. Each senator should submit an OEA for each month separated into reoccurring and non-reoccurring expenses.
