CBC has paid $18.4 million in bonuses this year after hundreds of jobs were cut.
Documents obtained from the Access-to-Information laws showed CBC paid out those bonuses to 1194 employees in the 2023-24 fiscal year with more than $3.3 million of it going to 45 executives which balances out to over $73,000 for each executive.
The bonuses given are more than the median family income after taxes in 2022 according to Statistics Canada.
The Conservatives fired at this information saying the bonuses are “beyond insulting and frankly sickening” when it comes at a time when many Canadians are starving and facing homelessness.
