CBC head Catherine Tait set to face off with MPs over job cuts, executive bonuses Jan 30, 2024 | 9:49 AMOTTAWA — The president of CBC and Radio-Canada is set to testify on Parliament Hill today following the public broadcaster’s recent announcement that it would cut 10 per cent of its workforce. Catherine Tait is scheduled to appear before a House of Commons committee this afternoon, where MPs are expected to grill her on the cuts — and whether executives are still receiving bonuses. The committee agreed in a report before Tait’s appearance that it would be inappropriate for CBC to grant executive bonuses in light of the looming cuts. But members of Parliament have no sway over how the independent broadcaster spends its money.
