Board of Directors

Director Compensation

Directors are paid within the ranges established under the Remuneration Guidelines for Part-Time Governor-in-Council Employees in Crown Corporations administered by the Privy Council Office. Directors were paid an annual retainer of $8,000 and an additional $625 per diem for attendance (including attendance by telephone) at each Board meeting and Committee meeting of which the director was a member. Each director who chairs a committee of the Board was paid an additional retainer of $1,000, except for the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee who was paid an additional $2,000. In addition, all non-employee directors are reimbursed for travel, accommodation or meal expenses incurred in the course of attending meetings of the Board, its Committees, or at Board-related events. The Governor and the Senior Deputy Governor do not receive directors' compensation.
