Graph 13 includes total compensation for the DM-2 level in a comparison with Canadian Labour Market in 2007.

Note: All figures are approximate.

  Public Sector Canadian Labour Market
EX-1 $155,000 $155,000
EX-2 $175,000 $195,000
EX-3 $190,000 $260,000
EX-4 $240,000 $360,000
EX-5 $265,000 $425,000
DM-2 $350,000 $805,000

Executive compensation is benchmarked to the Canadian Labour Market at the EX-1 level. EX-2 to EX-5 compensation is indexed to EX-1 compensation, not the Canadian Labour Market. This results in total compensation well below the private sector for these more senior positions.

At the EX-4, EX-5 and DM-2 levels, total compensation is significantly below the Canadian Labour Market by 70% to 128% based on September 2006 data. This finding has been consistent since 1997.
