CBC/Radio-Canada board approves bonuses for 2023-24, but will review practice
OTTAWA — The board of directors for CBC and Radio-Canada has approved bonuses for some staff, following a fiscal year that saw 141 employees let go, and another 205 vacant positions eliminated.
The decision was posted quietly on the public broadcaster’s website last month following a board of directors meeting.
A spokesman for CBC would not disclose how much money was doled out to the 1,194 eligible employees during the 2023-24 fiscal year, saying it’s internal information.
The public broadcaster has insisted that the money is performance pay and is part of some employees’ overall total compensation under existing contracts, to be paid out when certain company goals are met.
