Before Tait's testimony, the public broadcaster published a letter it had sent to the committee chair in March, which accused Conservative MPs of deliberately spreading false accusations about the company and Tait.The letter said"deliberately false accusations" have been damaging to Tait's reputation and that of the CBC. It singled out Conservative MPs Kevin Waugh and Rachael Thomas for comments they had made.
During one exchange with Thomas over a timeline of when a decision would be made on whether executives will get a bonus this year, Tait rejected accusations that she was misleading the committee. Tait said no decisions around bonuses to executives have been made yet for the 2023-24 fiscal year, but the issue will be discussed in mid-June with the board of directors.
In total, the public broadcaster eliminated 205 vacant positions and laid off 141 employees since December, she said.
