TORONTO — The CEO of Ontario Power Generation earned nearly $1.6 million last year, making him the highest-paid public-sector employee in the province on a growing list of those earning $100,000 or more. Jeff Lyash, whose salary was $1,554,456 and $6,864 in taxable benefits, topped Ontario's so-called 2017 "Sunshine List" of the highest paid public-sector employees, which was released Friday in six thick paper volumes. Lyash's salary was about $400,000 more than what he made last year, when he was also the highest-earning employee on the list.
