D'autres réductions des budgets de fonctionnement des ministères et organismes fédéraux seront nécessaires si l'on veut atteindre l'objectif de réduction du déficit fixé par le gouvernement. Le gel actuel des traitements de tous les fonctionnaires fédéraux sera prolongé de deux ans. Dans le cas de la plupart des conventions, le gel sera prolongé jusqu'à l'exercice 1996-97. De plus, les augmentations annuelles à l'intérieur d'un niveau seront suspendues pour deux exercices à compter de 1994-95. 1, record 2, French, - augmentation%20annuelle%20%C3%A0%20l%27int%C3%A9rieur%20d%27un%20niveau

The question of salary and compensation is also an issue. As Dr. Grace explains in his article in this issue, his salary is set by statute to equate to that of a Federal Court judge, a very handy formula to use. It means that a disgruntled government cannot punish appointees during their terms of office by trying to bring them to heel with a salary freeze. 1, record 3, English, - disgruntled%20government

La question du salaire et de la rémunération se pose également. Comme l'explique M. Grace dans son article du présent numéro, son salaire est fixé par la loi au niveau de celui d'un juge de la cour fédérale, une formule très pratique. Cela signifie qu'un gouvernement mécontent ne peut punir les titulaires de ces fonctions durant leur mandat en tentant de les asservir en leur imposant un gel salarial. 1, record 3, French, - gouvernement%20m%C3%A9content
