The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage has called out the planned bonuses to CBC's executives after the public broadcaster announced early this month that it plans to cut jobs. "Given the job cuts announced at CBC/Radio-Canada for the year 2024, it would be inappropriate for the CBC to grant bonuses to executive members," the committee said in Parliament on Tuesday. The statement comes amid questions on whether executives of the public broadcaster would be getting bonuses after it announced that around 10% of its workforce would be laid off due to budget pressures.
