Conservative MP REFUSES $10K pay hike
New Brunswick MP Mike Dawson takes a stand for taxpayers, sparking hope for a culture shift on Parliament Hill.
Conservative MP Mike Dawson from New Brunswick has refused his $10,000 pay hike, taking a stand for taxpayers while other MPs continue padding their pockets.
In an official letter to the House of Commons clerk, Dawson says he doesn’t need the raise and is putting principle over personal gain — a bold move that could spark a culture shift on Parliament Hill.
Meanwhile, the bureaucracy and party caucuses face mounting pressure as citizens and advocacy groups rally behind Dawson, calling on MPs from all parties to reject automatic pay hikes.
Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano joins Kris Sims to break down why Dawson’s decision matters, how it could influence Parliament’s culture of entitlement, and what Canadians can do to support leadership that puts taxpayers first.
