“Seven thousand years is how long it would take for a typical $30-a-month donor to the Sick Kids Foundation just to pay the salary and severance of its CEO” • AlbinaGuarnieri
A cap does not exist in other sectors • T3010 already requires Canadian charities to disclose top ten highest paid employees • High salaries needed to attract top fundraising talent • Important for hospitals, universities and researchers http://selfishgiving.com/secure/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Hospital-entrance-sign.jpg&imgrefurl
