Public sector employees in general are overpaid for their work compared to the private sector, and it's clear to see this extends to those at the very top too.
Those university students in Quebec walking out of school into this pay scale is amazing. Great gig, if you can get it.

I have to work 35 years before I can collect a full pension, and it won't be anywhere near what these retiring MPs are going to collect. Don't start comparing public sector employees to Members of Parliament in terms of pension.
