Liberal MLA Hugh MacDonald, who chairs the 17-member, all-party committee, told Sun Media, “I expect they will have some very direct questions” when representatives of the taxpayer-owned bank appear before them on Wednesday.1 B+ J% o% w+ C, w$ J; f

Auditor General Fred Dunn questioned the massive bonuses, given that the bank fell short of its net income goal by nearly 90% in the 2007-08 year.

Dunn said management overrode ATB’s policy that bonuses are tied to achieving or exceeding set targets.

The reason given for breaking the rule, Dunn said, was that “staff morale and retention” were at stake.- u1 }# x+ N3 Z

The whole purpose of bonuses is to motivate people to exceed expectations, he said, and giving bonuses when people fail completely defeats that.
