OTTAWA --
The turmoil, infighting and conflict plaguing the Green Party started just days after Annamie Paul was elected leader, CTV News has learned.
Green Party sources say Paul and the party clashed over her expected salary.
CTV News has agreed not to disclose their identities, because they were not authorized to speak to media.
Paul asked for “significantly” more compensation than the party paid former leader Elizabeth May, according to sources.
May received a salary top-up from the Green Party in addition to her salary as a member of Parliament.
Sources say the unelected Paul wanted to be paid about the same as an MP.
