The $3,300 increase on April 1 2019 took their basic salary to $178,900 for 2019, a jump of nearly two per cent from $175,600 last year.
The latest Statistics Canada data put the 2016 threshold for the top one per cent of incomes in Canada at $226,200 in annual earnings. The 2019 stats will not be out til 2020 or later !
The MPs getting an extra salary for House and caucus are MPs who serve ministers as Parliamentary Secretaries, a total of 36 in the Trudeau government whose additional pay rose to $17,500.

The prime minister receives the equivalent of the basic MP indemnity as an extra salary, for a total income of $357,800. The House of Commons speaker and the leader of the Official Opposition both receive an additional salary of $85,500, as do cabinet ministers, for a combined pay of $264,400.
