Alberta pays out $143 million to company over coal policy reversal
Grassy Mountain, peak to left, and the Grassy Mountain Coal Project are seen north of Blairmore, Alta., Thursday, June 6, 2024. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh) Alberta is paying out more than $140 million to end one of five lawsuits launched against it over its coal mining policies. A notice published online by Atrum Coal says the company has agreed to end its lawsuit and surrender its land back to the province in exchange for the payment. The company says it received just under $137 million last week and will receive another $6 million after it completes some reclamation work. Atrum was one of two companies suing the province that announced last month that settlements were reached, but the other, Evolve Power, has yet to share details. The companies are among five that are suing Alberta for a collective $16 billion. They argue that Alberta effectively expropriated their land after it suddenly reinstated its long-standing coal policy in 2022 less than two years after it was lifted and companies had been encouraged at that time to buy land for potential mining projects. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 23, 2025. Jack Farrell, The Canadian Press

Metrolinx's new CEO could earn a $137,000 annual bonus payment. Here is a closer look at his contract
The new CEO of Metrolinx won't make as much as his predecessor but could still take home more than $800,000 thanks to a lucrative bonus package. Michael Lindsay has been working as the interim CEO of Metrolinx since December 2024 but only took over as the agency's permanent CEO on July 1. According to an Order in Council detailing his three-year contract, Lindsay will earn an annual base salary of $686,566 but will also be eligible for a bonus payment of up to 20 per cent of his salary 'based on his performance evaluation.' If Lindsay maxes out the bonus payment, it would mean he would net an additional $137,313 in compensation in the form of a lump sum payment. He will also receive six weeks of paid vacation each year, per the terms of the contract. Phil Verster, the last Metrolinx CEO, made $883,99 in 2024, though it is not clear how much of Verster's compensation came in the form of a bonus payment. Verster was the fourth most paid public servant in 2024, according to the province's 2024 Sunshine List. Lindsay's salary would put him 23 on that list, excluding Verster. Lindsay was previously the president and CEO of Infrastructure Ontario. When he was named as Metrolinx's permanent CEO on June 25, board chair Dan Wright said that he was 'thrilled' to Lindsay in the permanent position. 'His proven ability to inspire the team and drive progress during the interim period gives the board great confidence in his leadership as we move forward.' Wright said in a Metrolinx press release. Lindsey takes over Metrolinx as work continues on finishing the much-delayed Eglinton crosstown LRT. Premier Doug Ford has previously said that opening the line, which was initially supposed to be finished in 2020, should be Lindsey's top priority and that he is 'fully in charge and going to get it done.' Ford has also indicated that it is possible the line could open as soon as September, though the former interim CEO of the TTC told a City of Toronto committee last week that he viewed that timeline as 'a reach.' 'I think September is a reach,' Greg Percy said. 'But, this fall is plausible, and certainly by year end. There's lots and lots of stuff going on that we need to fix to open safely, and that's what we're focused on.' In a Metrolinx press release in June, Lindsay said that he is looking forward to delivering 'the modern and high-quality transit network our communities need and deserve.'

Hydro-Quebec CEO's compensation could approach $1 million
Hydro-Quebec's new boss will be entitled to compensation that could approach $1 million if she receives her maximum bonus. The compensation of the new CEO, Claudine Bouchard, could reach $988,500, according to information contained in a decree issued by François Legault's government. Bouchard is entitled to an annual salary of $659,000. The board of directors may also grant her a performance bonus, but this cannot exceed half the value of her salary. With this promotion, Bouchard will see her annual salary increase by 11.7 per cent compared to what she earned as chief operating and infrastructure officer. In 2024, she received an annual salary of $589,948, for total compensation of $933,362, according to the Crown corporation's annual report. The new CEO's compensation is in line with that of her predecessor, Michael Sabia, who received a salary of $663,577 and total compensation of $839,516 in 2024. In 2025, Bouchard's compensation will be determined based on the number of months she served as CEO versus her previous position. Bouchard was appointed head of the Crown corporation on July 5, following Sabia's departure, when he became the federal government's most senior civil servant. She will be responsible for steering Hydro-Quebec's massive investments, which include plans to deploy $200 billion by 2035 to increase production and improve the reliability of its network. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on July 23, 2025.
