I would say that you are correct. The orders in council are done on an annual basis in respect of setting terms and conditions for GIC appointees, and changes in their rates of pay are also reflected in those orders in council.
There is the performance management program that is applicable to Governor in Council appointees. The information and structure of that applies across all GICs. It is available on the website. It is an annual process, by which individual GIC appointees submit objectives in written form. On evaluation, there is a rigorous process of review each year in respect of what we call ”pay at risk”, so a portion of a GIC appointee's salary is re-earned every year. That review process takes place, and recommendations are made to the Governor in Council in respect of what that pay at risk may be in the case of each individual. That is a process that does apply to all Governor in Council appointees.
