The rate of increase in the membership of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs’ $100,000 club slowed last year, growing from 94 to 101 members. This is half the increase from 2009 to 2010 when 13 new members joined the list, according to figures released under the province’s annual disclosure of public employee salaries, including the provincial public service, provincial agencies, municipalities and school boards.

OMAFRA’s increase in 2011 was 7.4 per cent, below the provincial average of a 10 per cent growth in $100K club membership. In total, 78,901 provincial, municipal and provincial agency employees earned $100,000 in 2011, according to the figures released in late March.

Heading OMAFRA’s list once again is Deputy Minister John Burke, whose salary in 2011 was $237,352.58, a 5.2 per cent increase over the amount he received in 2010.

The ministry’s four Assistant Deputy Ministers all topped $170,000 last year, according to the list.

They are David Hope, Food Safety and Environment, $177,528.24, David Antle Policy, $177,046.11, Aren Chank, Research and Corporate Service, $171,545.11, and Bonnie Winchester, Economic Development, $171,936.73.
