Questions and answers
Why is Michael Lyle on the disclosure list?
Independent Electricity System Operator paid Michael Lyle $387,866 in 2025. Ontario’s public employers must disclose everyone they paid $100,000 or more in a calendar year, under the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996.
What does “salary paid” include?

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 $100,000 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 Ontario published them; we fix matching mistakes and handle removal requests there.
