Why is Michel Desjardins on the disclosure list?

What does “salary paid” include?

What the employer paid in the calendar year, so it can include overtime, retroactive pay, vacation payouts, severance or a partial year. Taxable benefits are listed separately. How the lists work

What do the comparisons mean?

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