Could stratospheric remuneration for the CEOs of these hydro companies possibly have something to do with our increasing electricity rates?

From an article in the Sept. 28/2015 edition of the Financial Post: 
Hydro One will pay its CEO a base salary of $850,000 for next year, with a potential $765,000 in short-term compensation and a long-term incentive of as much as $2.39 million.... The chief financial officer will get... total direct compensation of as much as $1.5 million....CEOs of Canadian power companies make a median $3.37 million in annual total reported compensation, according to data compiled by Bloomberg on 11 companies with a market value over $1 billion.

Compensation for Hydro One CEO Mayo Schmidt... contrasts with the $751,554 salary paid to his predecessor Carmine Marcello, according to the government’s public sector salary disclosure for 2014.

For comparison, the Prime Minister of Canada earned $328,000 in 2014. Even with allowances, that pales in comparison.
