I'd like to remind my Conservative colleague of the Harper-Poilievre government's attitude at the time. To do so, I'm going to quote Rachel Curran, Prime Minister Harper's former director of policy, who explained how performance pay worked under Harper in Policy Options magazine in 2019. If you were a senior executive, like Hubert Lacroix at CBC/Radio-Canada, the more you cut, the more money you got. Senior management compensation was tied to that performance indicator. She recommended that the Ford government do the same thing. She wrote that, at the federal level, the Harper government made deputy ministers' compensation dependent on how well they achieved a department's budget reduction targets.
Therefore, I will not be lectured by a party that used performance bonuses as a tool to entice executives to implement Conservative cuts.
I would remind you that the Conservatives want to completely defund CBC/Radio-Canada, which will lead to the closure of an institution that is over 100 years old. So I'm not going to take any lessons from the Conservatives.
