The British Columbia government has released executive compensation disclosure information for 2009-2010, revealing the pay of the senior officers at the B.C. Securities Commission, among other public sector organizations.

The disclosure reveals that the new chair of the BCSC, Brenda Leong, earned $499,251 for the year, comprised of $319,636 in base salary, $125,853 in incentive pay, along with pension and other compensation.

That’s a big raise for Leong, the commission’s former executive director, who earned $388,132 in her previous role in fiscal 2009. But it is below the $549,092 earned by the BCSC former chair Doug Hyndman in his last full year as chair.

Hyndman left the helm of the BCSC to head up the Canadian Securities Transition Office, and was paid a little over $120,000 for his time at the commission in fiscal 2010, before joining the CSTO in July of last year.

The commission’s other top executives — vice chair Brent Atiken, director of enforcement Langley Evans and director of corporate finance — also received raises for the year.

This is in contrast to the Ontario Securities Commission, which reported modest declines in the salaries of its top executives when it disclosed compensation earlier this year.
