The opposition New Democratic Party is calling for clearer rules to govern millions of dollars worth of performance pay for public service executives as well as for parliamentary hearings into how that money is being doled out.
“What strikes me is a real lack of consistency and that’s explained by the fact that there aren’t clear rules in place for bonus pay,” NDP Treasury Board critic Mathieu Ravignat told iPolitics. “You would think that what you would want would be a public service that is rewarded on the basis of merit at the executive level but in a clear and consistent way across departments and that’s not what we’re seeing happening.”
“There doesn’t seem to be rhyme or reason with regard to types of departments where performance pay has increased,” he added. “There’s an overall decrease but then there are some sharp increases in some departments which doesn’t really make any sense.”
