How is the remuneration of the Commission members determined?

The remuneration of the Commission members is determined by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. This process ensures that the compensation for members is set at a level that reflects the responsibilities and duties associated with their roles, and it is typically guided by broader governmental policies and standards. The involvement of the Lieutenant Governor in Council signifies that this decision is made at a provincial level, ensuring a level of oversight and consistency across commissions.

The municipal council, while having various responsibilities related to local governance, does not set the remuneration for Commission members, as this is outside the scope of their authority. Similarly, a majority vote of the commission itself cannot determine compensation, as it would create potential conflicts of interest and inconsistencies in remuneration practices. The Ministry of Finance is involved in broader budgeting and financial planning for the province, but it is the Lieutenant Governor in Council that holds the specific authority to set the remuneration for the Commission members directly.
