Prime Minister Mark Carney defends hiring two top officials for over $577K each to lead major defence and infrastructure projects, saying they took pay cuts to serve the public.
Prime Minister Mark Carney defended appointing two senior officials to high-paying roles exceeding $577,000 annually, citing their critical responsibilities in major defence and infrastructure projects.
The hires, part of a push to accelerate economic development, have drawn criticism from the Conservative Party, which called the move bureaucratic and costly.
Carney argued that attracting top talent requires competitive pay, noting the appointees are taking significant pay cuts from higher private-sector earnings.
Their roles involve overseeing billions in industrial and defence initiatives, with incentive pay capped at 33% of base salary.
