Auditor General Fred Dunn questioned the massive bonuses, given that the bank fell short of its net income goal by nearly 90% in the 2007-08 year.

“If there are no consequences for not achieving objectives, then individuals in GFM are being rewarded for not achieving corporate objectives,” Dunn wrote.
