CBC faces criticism for awarding large bonuses to executives amidst low per capita funding.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is facing criticism from its supporters, including the Friends of Canadian Media, over its recent decision to award large bonuses to its executives. The CBC's per capita funding is at a 60-year low and critics argue that the bonuses are out of touch and unsuitable. CBC CEO Catherine Tait, with a salary of $460,900 to $551,600, is entitled to a bonus of up to 28%. The controversy comes amidst concerns that the CBC has insufficient funding, with the organization's per capita funding reaching a 60-year low due to decades of neglect from various governments.
