OTTAWA — The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. paid $18.4 million in bonuses this year after hundreds of jobs at the public broadcaster were eliminated.
The Conservatives said the bonuses are “beyond insulting and frankly sickening,” adding they come at a time when many Canadians are starving and facing homelessness.Members of Parliament have been asking for the figure since last December, when CBC announced it would be laying off employees to help balance its budget.
Government departments, Crown corporations and most private companies use performance pay, also called ‘at-risk pay,’ as a portion of compensation for non-union employees to help ensure delivery on specific targets, a spokesman for CBC said in a statement Monday. Nonetheless, the broadcaster’s board publicly acknowledged the negative optics of giving out bonuses during the same fiscal year that it made cuts, and has since launched a review of its compensation regime for future years.
