MP questions executive bonuses at Nortel

MPs are questioning Nortel executives who continue to earn "retention bonuses" at the expense of their current and former employees. Recent bonuses totalled $30 million, of which $7.3 was split between eight executives. "Here you have senior executives at Nortel paying themselves millions of dollars in bonuses at a time when the company is tanking," says NDP MP Thomas Mulcair, "and we just find it inadmissible and we want answers." A date has not been set, but the executives are expected to appear in the House before the summer recess.
