Thank you.

I'll switch now to executive performance pay for public servants. Some have remarked on the use of this executive performance pay for public servants and have criticized its use despite not hitting departmental targets. However, executive performance pay is part of executive compensation packages and has no link to organizational goals outlined in departmental targets.

Do you believe it's important to use such market-based incentives to motivate leadership to achieve results?
