'Unacceptable': B.C. Conservative slams high mayor salaries, calls for cap

In 2024, four Metro Vancouver mayors earned over $300,000 each from municipal salaries, stipends, and regional board paycheques.
This large income resulted from multiple appointments, with Daniel Fontaine confirming Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie earns the most in the region.
Brodie's total compensation reached $397,482, including about $244,000 from Richmond and additional stipends from Metro Vancouver and other authorities.
A Deloitte report recommended the province legislate a maximum total remuneration across all local government-related roles, which Fontaine advocated implementing.
The report and Fontaine's call suggest imposing caps could address pay levels exceeding those of B.C. cabinet ministers, who earn about $183,000 annually.
