CBC deferred questions to the federal government, which is responsible for authorizing performance pay for the head of the Crown corporation
CBC President and Chief Executive Officer Catherine Tait waits to appear at the Heritage Committee in Ottawa on May 7.The Liberal government is refusing to say if it approved a bonus for the head of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., as Opposition Conservatives demand answers and New Democrats call for a ban on bonuses.
Citing privacy laws, a spokesperson for the Privy Council Office said it cannot disclose details, even though some of that information from past years has been made public. “Clearly, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government are content to give CBC executives and their handpicked CEO huge multimillion-dollar taxpayer funded bonuses amid dwindling viewership and increasing irrelevancy so long as they remain good servants to their masters and continue to act as the propaganda arm of the Liberal party,” said Heritage critic Rachael Thomas in a statement on Wednesday.
“Therefore, it’s time to ban the CBC from paying executive bonuses and use that money to save local journalism.”
