MP salary top-ups for committee, parlsec, and extra House duties

Just as party leaders, their top deputies, and cabinet ministers get extra pay for their added responsibilities, so, too, do the MPs taking on extra duties. That includes parliamentarians who hold leadership roles at committee, get tapped to work as parliamentary secretaries, are voted Speaker of the House, or sit on the top-secret National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP). They get a top-up to the base salary for a Member of Parliament, which is now $203,100 annually. On the list of salary top-ups, House Speaker Greg Fergus gets an additional $96,800, Deputy Speaker Chris d’Entremont gets $50,100, and the two assistant deputy speakers Carol Hughes and Alexandra Mendes take home $19,600 each. A parliamentary secretary gets a $19,600 boost, a House committee chair $13,800, and vice-chairs receive $6,800 extra. NSICOP Chair David McGuinty gets an additional $50,100 for his efforts, while each member of that committee gets $13,800. Speakers of the House top-ups The House of Commons Speaker gets $96,800, the deputy Speaker receives $50,100, and the two assistant deputy Speakers take home an additional $19,600 each.
