Matthew Schroeder will now be paid $61,465 for spending “approximately” one-quarter of his time running the debit-mired inland port as a private agency attempts to sell off its lands.

That is $125,274 less than he earned after cabinet appointed him as the GTH’s acting chief executive in January, following the firing of former GTH CEO Bryan Richards.

According to the provincial government, however, Schroeder’s total compensation will remain unchanged, as he takes over as vice president of strategy with SaskBuilds effective Jan. 1.

SaskBuilds is the Crown corporation responsible for major public infrastructure projects in Saskatchewan.

“This reduction in time dedicated to the GTH results from the engagement of Colliers to take over the routine management of the hub as well as other organizational changes and cost savings during the current year,” Minister Responsible for the GTH Don Morgan said in a brief written statement.
