May 8, 2024, 02:40 AM

CBC CEO Catherine Tait faced intense scrutiny from MPs regarding her executive bonuses during a Commons heritage committee session. Despite being entitled to a $120,000 bonus in addition to her six-figure salary, Tait has declined to disclose the specific amount of her 2023 bonus. During the session, she urged MPs to shift their focus from her compensation to the need for sustainable long-term funding for CBC. Conservative MPs, including Rachael Thomas and Philip Lawrence, accused Tait of misleading the committee and pressed her to reveal the exact figures of her bonuses.
