My question is also for Mr. Cory.
I note that every year, the bank reports in its annual report how much it spends on staff and bonuses. For almost every year of its existence, the bank has spent more on salaries and overhead than on actual infrastructure projects.
Let me put these numbers to you. Salaries for 2022-23 and bonuses came to $30,200,000. Salaries for 2021-22 and bonuses came to $23,973,000. Salaries for 2021 and bonuses came to $17,742,000. You get the picture.
Why should Canadians, who are struggling with daily living expenses, not be concerned about these hefty bonuses and salaries that your non-profitable bank is dishing out?
