Governor General’s $40K pandemic pay hike

 

The governor general’s salary in 2022 was $342,100. That means the governor general’s salary increased by almost $40,000 since the beginning of the pandemic. Why does the governor general need an extra $40,000 when they can expense taxpayers for as much beef wellington as they can stomach?
