Members of Parliament have accused CBC President Catherine Tait of misleading Parliament to secure a $96.1 million subsidy increase and additional funds for executive bonuses. Tait is being called back for further questioning by the committee next month. The allegations suggest that Tait falsely claimed financial hardship to obtain the funding, part of which was allocated to $14.9 million in executive bonuses last year. This has led to a broader discussion on the accountability of public broadcasting funding and the use of taxpayer money.
