Alberta lawmakers raise their monthly accommodations allowance by $270, sparking debate amid economic concerns.
Alberta's Legislative Assembly has increased the monthly accommodations allowance for MLAs by $270, despite opposition from the NDP.
The allowance, now $3,340, is for MLAs living 60 kilometers or more from the Legislature or those working more than 12 hours.
Critics say it's inappropriate given Albertans' financial struggles, but supporters argue it's necessary to offset a 32.41% rise in the Consumer Price Index since 2012, when the allowance was last updated.
