The CBC’s CEO won’t confirm if executives will still be getting bonuses this year after the Crown corporation announced significant cutbacks and layoffs.

CBC journalist Adrienne Arsenault questioned CEO Catherine Tait on Dec. 4 about whether bonuses would be paid this year, after 600 layoffs were announced earlier in the day.
