University professor — collective-agreement salary floors

Rank salary FLOORS (Assistant-Professor floor up to Full-Professor floor) at one representative research university per province. Actual pay rises well above these floors through merit/progression, so they are not compared to disclosed pay. Faculty pay has no province-wide grid — other universities differ.
