WINNIPEG – The former head of a Manitoba Crown corporation is giving back thousands of dollars she was paid for nothing.

Former Manitoba Public Insurance CEO Marilyn McLaren was given a $50,000, 1 year contract to provide advice to MPI shortly after she retired early in 2014.

But at a Legislative committee meeting earlier this week, current MPI CEO Dan Guimond told MLAs McLaren had done no work so far and was there only for “insurance” in case he quit or got sick.

McLaren quit the contract the next day, but MPI admitted she’d already been paid $27,300 under the contract.

MPI announced in a news release late Friday that McLaren had returned the $27,300 to MPI.
