Alberta Liberal MLA Bridget Pastoor’s Motion 501 passed in the Legislature on Monday. 

Motion 501 reads: “Be it resolved that the Legislative Assembly urge the Government to establish an independent Commission to review the current salaries and benefits for Members of the Legislative Assembly and to report to the Government and this Assembly on whether the current overall remuneration for Members is fair and adequate.”

With the weight of the Assembly behind the motion, the Premier agreed in Question Period on Tuesday that his government would begin work to follow the advice of the Assembly.
