Doug Ford recently promoted three Progressive Conservative MPPs by topping up their salaries by more than $16,000 a year.

The pay freeze has been in place since 2007 and has been renewed on several occasions, with potential salary bumps tied to balancing the budget.

Critics have pointed out that while newly elected MPP Tyler Allsopp has been sworn in, he has yet to step foot inside the legislature.
