[Crown Corporations, April 3rd, 2000]

Mr. Speaker, it is perfectly normal in our system at the moment for us to compare the salary of senior executives, and especially the senior executives of crown corporations, with similar salaries in the private sector.

We have established a new system by which they receive a basic salary and a risk or performance bonus. The boards of directors of each of the crown corporations recommend salary increases to the government.

It seems to me a system that is appropriate for crown corporations.

[Human Resources Development, April 3rd, 2000]

Mr. Speaker, my colleague, the Minister of Human Resources Development, herself tabled an internal audit report by her department indicating that there were problems relating to financial administration and practices within her department.
