CANADA — ‘Completely unjustifiable’: Feds paid out $190 million in bonuses to public servants
Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), which oversees Canada’s passport program, paid out $11 million in bonuses.
Nearly 90 per cent of federal public sector executives, as well as thousands of other federal bureaucrats, went home with $190 million in total bonuses in 2021-2022.
the bonuses were particularly egregious as they were paid out at a time when a host of government services were crumbling, such as the passport, access to information and immigration visa systems.
