Liberal MLA Hugh MacDonald, who chairs the 17-member, all-party committee, told Sun Media, “I expect they will have some very direct questions” when representatives of the taxpayer-owned bank appear before them on Wednesday.

Auditor General Fred Dunn questioned the massive bonuses, given that the bank fell short of its net income goal by nearly 90% in the 2007-08 year.

MacDonald said that when a government-owned corporation performs poorly, ultimately it’s taxpayers who suffer.

The whole purpose of bonuses is to motivate people to exceed expectations, he said, and giving bonuses when people fail completely defeats that.
