CBC head Catherine Tait won't rule out accepting a bonus amid widespread cuts

The president of CBC and Radio-Canada won't say if she's getting a bonus this year despite the public broadcaster's plans to cut 10 per cent of its workforce.

Catherine Tait tells a House of Commons committee that it's up to the board of directors who gets bonuses, which are doled out at the end of March. 

Tait says the additional payments are merit-based and only provided to those employees who meet certain targets. 

Across all of CBC/Radio-Canada, employees in certain pay bands, managers and executives are eligible to participate in the incentive plan.
