A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Government data shows the number of Canadian federal executives who received bonuses decreased by more than 11% in 2024-25 compared to the previous year. Former Privy Council clerk Michael Wernick explains that bonus decisions involve sophisticated conversations evaluating not just whether targets were met, but how they were achieved — including whether executives strengthened their teams or left a trail of problems behind.
