This is the best summary I could come up with:

"The largest year-over-year increases were in the hospitals, municipalities and services, and post-secondary sectors, which together represented approximately 80 per cent of the growth of the list," she said.

Matthew Anderson, CEO of Ontario Health, a provincial agency the Ford government created in 2019, earned $821,000.

The police chiefs of Thunder Bay, Daniel Taddeo, ($376,428) and Hamilton, Francis Bergen, ($374,492) were paid more last year than OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique ($373,472).

Organizations that receive provincial government funding are also required to disclose salaries for the sunshine list, so it includes top earners at some registered charities.

At Queen's Park on Thursday, some members of provincial Parliament faced questions on whether the $100,000 starting point should be adjusted.

"I think that people think that $100,000 is still a lot of money, especially in an affordability crisis," said NDP MPP Catherine Fife, who's also the finance critic.
