News flash: Jack Layton collects cash rewards for dismal performance

NDP leader is paid full salary despite placing last, again, in federal election

So why is he dissing the pension plan?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JULY 24, 2009

$4 MILLION IN BONUSES HANDED OUT DESPITE $9.3 BILLION LOSS
Public-service pension executives collect cash rewards for dismal performance

OTTAWA – Yet another group of pension executives were handsomely compensated with bonuses this year despite massive losses, a practice that is unfair and unwarranted, especially during a recession, says New Democrat Pensions Critic Wayne Marston (Hamilton East-Stoney Creek).

According to its annual report, the Public Service Pension Investment Board suffered a loss of $9.3 billion in the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2009. It was the second consecutive year the fund lost money, and the fifth time in nine years that the fund has underperformed against established policy benchmarks.
