Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
You talked a lot about trust and relying on the facts. It is a fact that there were significant job cuts at CBC. In fact, there were cuts made just before Christmas. It is a fact that performance pay bonuses were awarded very generously to the tune of more than $18 million. To reconcile that with your testimony here today is quite something.
We did do some digging into these KPIs, or key performance indicators, and some of the targets. In your previous testimony before this committee, you talked a lot about a process, but what I find very interesting is that the reports that come out of the CBC fawn over how great you're doing, to the point that maybe the only place you'd be more popular than that would be at a Liberal cabinet meeting. Even today you suggested, after one of Mr. Coteau's questions, that you needed to be realistic in that.
To go back to the KPIs from this past fiscal year, you said that by your own metrics, you met 13 of the 14 performance targets. That was a massive increase from meeting only three of the 14 targets the previous year. Something doesn't smell right with that. When it comes to the actual meeting of tangible targets, we started going through some of that information, and we saw that you lowered the KPIs for this past year, some of them quite significantly.
Ms. Tait, compared to the previous year—three of 14 versus 13 of 14—does that affect bonuses?
