Edmonton — Alberta Treasury Branch officials will have to explain why more than $26 million in bonuses were handed out to staff after a year of dismal performance last year, says the head of the province’s public accounts committee.

Dunn said management overrode ATB’s policy that bonuses are tied to achieving or exceeding set targets.
