The House heritage committee met Monday to dive into senior management compensation at CBC/Radio-Canada, hearing from Tait and CBC board chair Michael Goldbloom. Tait and Goldbloom have been on the defensive for months after the Canadian Press reported CBC had paid out $18.4 million in performance pay in 2023-24. The high spending has irked the Conservatives, who dubbed the performance pay an “insulting” move amid an affordability crisis. But Tait said she considers the issue a “personal matter.”“I believe I’m protected by the Privacy Act in that regard,” she told the committee. Tait has previously expressed no regret in shelling out millions in performance pay, explaining a portion of a manager’s pay is “withheld” and only granted if key performance indicators are met.
