question.
Where are we going to find and train all the workers to spend this 64 Billion over the next few years? Its not like a fisherman can just pick up a hammer and automatically be an jouirneyman carpenter...wont all this money pouring into provinces for infrastructure repair basically sky rocket salaries and prices on materials since the competition for them will be so damn high?

You ask who is worth a million a year. And when challenged your response is "get with it"?

The discussion was civil service salaries.

Never mind Pavolo. I just don't have any more patience for this crap.

proposing a pay cut for some government employees because they are not earning it or their job is not worth that much is one thing. Proposing a pay cut across the board because of a recession is another.

Has anyone heard of many Canadian companies slashing everyones pay across the board because of this recession lately? There was a proposal about the Big3 I remember, dont seem to recall seeing that proposal actually going through though...

So unless a huge chunk of the rest of workers across Canada start seeing pay cuts, we definately should not start with government workers.

From the Ottawa Citizen, December 18, 2007
The chief executives of Crown corporations remain the highest paid. They also received raises of 2.1 per cent this year, but the salary committee said it was concerned about the high percentage of CEOs who are already earning the maximum performance pay and said it would be "inappropriate" to bump up their extra pay.

That pushed the highest paid executive, Canada Post president and CEO Moya Green, from a maximum salary of $445,600 to $455,000.

So unless their salaries more than doubled in the past here, a million is still way off.

But those are crown corporations. Big business really. Do we really want to nickle and dime them? Or do we ant to attract the very best?

This thread was about civic service salaries. How many of them do you suppose earn $1 million? $500k? $250k?

Let's pay our civil service what they might earn in the private sector. Perhaps then we will have a higher quality civil service.

The civil service makes more than what the private sector would pay these days. In my field at least.

That's the difference between you and a CEO. You don't know what CEOs do.
