Anybody want to elaborate on SEVERANCE PAY? Pars

Btw, this is Canadian Grain Commission look-a-seeing.

During 2007-2008, CGC scientists and technical experts continued to play an important market support role by liasing with buyers, marketers, industry and producers and providing technical advice and information on grain quality, grain safety, and end-uses. Customer feedback is used to continuously improve the GQAS. CGC staff went on eight overseas market support missions to investigate, train, or convey the quality of Canadian grain to customers. Additionally, there were 34 international delegations that visited the CGC to learn about the CGC and Canada’s GQAS. Buyers have stated that they are satisfied with the overall quality of Canadian grain and Canada’s GQAS.

Any staff over in China? And what would their message be?

"$485 K from Treasury Board for severance pay"
_______________________________________

2 years severance for outgoing Chief Commisioner. CWB and CGC commissioners used to be entitled to this.

5 year appointment - get 2 year severance. Clause was you could not work in the grain industry for 2 years.

Dunno how long Machej waited until he bot a fax machine in Winnipeg and a Montreal forwarding phone number.

Sleuth that.

"yet most of the money is spent long before it gets to farmers" - why is that a sudden alert. It has been going on for decades.

Less money spent on golden handshakes = more money in farmers' programs.'
