The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has launched a legal challenge against the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) for failing to disclose the amount of bonuses awarded to its senior executives. Reports indicate that CBC executives and managers received $14.9 million in bonuses for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, despite the organization laying off 141 employees during the same period. Among the bonuses, CBC President Catherine Tait received a $100K bonus in addition to her half-million-dollar salary. The controversy has sparked criticism from taxpayers and media outlets, who argue that the bonuses are a misuse of public funds. The CTF is demanding transparency from the CBC and questioning the rationale behind such significant bonus payments.
