Taxpayer group slams $2.8M Alto bonuses for unbuilt rail
The finance minister refused to say whether his Alto executive wife received a bonus during Jun. 11 testimony at the Commons ethics committee.
A ten-figure Liberal boondoggle continues to unravel with millions in bonuses handed out to Alto employees without a shovel even hitting the ground.
According to government records reviewed by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, the federal government handed out $2.8 million in bonuses for the high-speed rail project without a construction start date.
“Why do these train executives think they deserve huge taxpayer-funded bonuses when they haven’t laid a single metre of track?” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director.
“Government bureaucrats don’t deserve bonuses before they finish their work, so they definitely don’t deserve bonuses before they even start their work.”
