OTTAWA — The $18.4 million CBC/Radio-Canada awarded in bonuses to its employees this year is shocking, Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said.

Describing bonuses as icing on a cake, Blanchet suggested the corporation was using them as a"kind of backdoor salary" that hides how much people are really being paid because the bonuses are only revealed in the media"once a year." More than $10.4 million was paid out to 631 managers, and over $4.6 million was paid to 518 other employees.
