Alberta government paid Dr. Deena Hinshaw record cash bonus in 2021

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Aug 2, 2022 4:14 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Alberta's chief medical officer of health received almost 228-thousand dollars in cash benefits during the 2021 calendar year.

That was on top of a salary for Doctor Deena Hinshaw of 363-thousand, 634 dollars and ``non-cash benefits'' of about 52-hundred dollars last year.

Health Ministry spokesman Steve Buick says Hinshaw's bonuses were calculated using her base hourly rate and the number of overtime hours she worked in 2021 beyond 45 hours a week.

Mount Royal University political scientist Duane Bratt says he understands the pandemic-related payouts -- but he doesn't think every Albertan will.
