McClure, who has been managing a heavy workload since 2024, including overseeing two dozen recall petitions, citizen referendum pushes, and new laws, was seeking a raise on his $138,000 salary plus $33,000 in benefits. Despite support from NDP committee members, the United Conservative Party majority voted against the raise. McClure will receive a small increase this year but not the full amount he requested. This decision comes as Alberta prepares for a packed voting season, with McClure and his team handling investigations and additional responsibilities without the promised salary boost.
