I don't have a problem with extra pay for being on a committee, provided that the committee actually does something, I think that was the biggest complaints that people had... but I think that is rehashing a dead story.
That being said I still think that the average salary for an MLA isn't outrageous and it is already public record.

Well, the problem with the committee pay was that the Tories were more or less playing "hide the ball." I actually think MLAs should probably be paid MORE, but that it should be totally transparent, and sitting on committees should be an implicit duty included in their regular pay.
