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.

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