T he annual Sunshine List of Ontario public sector employees who received more than $100,000 in compensation in 2016 fea- tured more than 123,000 names when it was released on March 31. While there have been some calls to increase the salary level that triggers disclosure, Statis- tics Canada data issued last year shows that $100,000 is still more than the median family income in any Ontario city. The high- est median family income for a metropolitan area was $97,760 in Ottawa-Gatineau. Mean- while, the top one per cent of total average income for tax fil- ers in Canada was $466,700. Of the 123,000 names on the latest Sunshine List, thousands of the individuals are lawyers working in the public sector. On this chart, Law Times lists, in descending order by sal- ary, the top 10 earners from the Ministry of the Attorney Gen- eral as well as law professors and other legal professionals work- ing as counsel, general counsel, solicitors, directors of legal ser- vices and in other senior roles among various municipal and provincial bodies and regula- tors. The list does not include federally appointed judges. The highest level of compensation for someone practising as a law- yer went to Chris Ginther, senior vice president and general coun- sel at Ontario Power Generation. Ginther, who earned $531,500 last year, was recently promoted to chief administrative officer of the public agency. The standard salary for a judge sitting on the Ontario Court of Justice rose to just less than $289,000 last year, which is not far behind the $308,600 salary for judges on the Ontario Superior Court. In the educa- tional sector, law professors at all universities continue to be compensated less than those in the business and medicine facul- ties. Professors at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, how- ever, still earn much more on average than their colleagues at other law schools. Seventeen law professors at U of T earned more than the highest-paid professor at any other law school in Ontario. As well, seven professors, includ- ing U of T law dean Edward Ia- cobucci, earned more than Pat- rick Monahan, deputy attorney general of Ontario, one of the most powerful public sector le- gal jobs in the country.
