OTTAWA (CP) - The federal government has quietly handed senior government officials and the heads of Crown corporations pay raises and increased bonuses, sounding alarm bells from a tax watchdog and the biggest public service union.
...
"What troubles me is this is a government that was elected to ensure greater transparency, and they've decided to shelve a public announcement," said John Williamson, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
...
Mike Van Soulen, spokesman for Treasury Board President John Baird, said there was nothing underhanded about the raise. The information, he said, was made public on the Treasury Board's website.

"It's transparent" he said. "We felt it was an appropriate way to release this news."
...

"appropriate". heh.

someone help me out here. I'm usually pretty good at this stuff by I can't find that link. No problem finding a glossy for the Accountability Act, mind you, but damned if I can find "the information". :lol:
