Judges' pay hike stalls in Senate
The bill to raise the base salary of nearly 1,000 Ottawa appointed judges by 8.3 percent over two years stalled in the Senate before summer recess. The move would lift the top base for a superior court judge to 175,800 as of April 1, with debate adjourned until September at the earliest. Senator Anne Cools said time constraints prevented proper committee review.

MPs Use Freely Earned Air Miles Despite Rules
MPs can claim up to 64 free return flights annually and accumulate about 150 000 frequent flyer points per year while guidelines urge returning or donating points. The Commons Board of Internal Economy approved new usage rules but enforcement remains weak due to airline point confidentiality and non cancelability.
