Questions and answers

Why is James Johnston on the compensation disclosure list?

Cancercare Manitoba paid James Johnston $231,739 in 2023. Manitoba’s public employers must disclose everyone they paid $85,000 or more in a year, under the Public Sector Compensation Disclosure Act.

What is “total compensation”?

The one pay figure Manitoba publishes for each person for the year, shown as published. Manitoba does not publish taxable benefits separately, so none are shown. How the lists work

What do the comparisons mean?

Ranks and shares are among people on the same year’s list only: those with the same title, those at the same employer, or everyone listed. People paid under $85,000 are not on the list, so they are not counted.

How do I report a mistake or ask for a record to be removed?

Privacy and corrections explains both. Figures are shown exactly as Manitoba published them; we fix matching mistakes and handle removal requests there.

Years at different employers were matched because the name appears once on each year’s list with the same job or sector. Salary paid can include overtime, retroactive pay and one-time payments. Figures are exactly as Manitoba published them. How we match years · Report a mistake or ask for removal
