The governor general just took another pay raise. And you paid for it!

The governor general’s salary is now just shy of $400,000.

A governor general can bill you for up to $130,000 for their clothes. 

A former governor general can also bill taxpayers like you up to $200,000 every year for the rest of their lives and up to six months after their death. 

A former governor general gets a $150,000 annual taxpayer-funded pension.
