OTTAWA — The Liberal government is refusing to say if it approved a bonus for the head of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
It is up to the federal government to determine if Catherine Tait is eligible for a bonus following a review of her performance and recommendation by the board of directors at CBC/Radio-Canada.
CBC deferred questions to the federal government and Canadian Heritage, which oversees the Crown corporation, deferred questions to the Privy Council Office, which supports cabinet and the prime minister. Citing privacy laws, a spokesperson for the Privy Council Office says it cannot disclose details, even though some of that information was made public in past years.
The government wouldn't say whether Tait met her performance targets for the 2023-24 fiscal year, or if the board recommended that she receive a bonus. This year, CBC paid out $18.4 million in bonuses to nearly 1,200 employees, managers and executives after eliminating hundreds of jobs.
