West Island Chronicle: Harper Costs Us an Extra $2 Million a Day

...

There are 1,200 employees in the House of Commons who have to be paid, session or no session. That’s $318 million a year,

And then MPs salaries have to be paid too, even if MPs are taking time off at the Olympic Games. MPs salaries cost $108 million a year.

And then don’t forget the Senators. Their salaries cost $25 million a year, and their staff and operational expenses add another $90 million a year.

Even for just 22 days, the whole thing comes to $48 million down the drain or something like $2 million a day for Harper’s timely shut-down.

But normally we get some work out of them for that.
