What this article doesn't mention is that Bombardier, while purporting to be a public company is de facto a private one. There are 2 classes of shares A gets 10 votes and B get 1 vote.  The Bombardier family owns only 12% of the shares, but controls a majority vote. And guess who is getting all these raises? Yes, the Beaudoin/Bombardier clan. 

Taxpayers are not just giving money to the great monolith company Bombardier. They are giving money directly to private individuals for their personal use.

If any government money is given to BBD, it should have an absolute condition that the multiple voting share structure is done away with.
