OTTAWA – The Department of Canadian Heritage said Tuesday it is beginning a Canada-wide search for two new members of the Canada Media Fund Corporation’s board of directors.
This “open, transparent and merit-based selection process will result in the recommendation of high-quality candidates and will strive for gender parity and to truly reflect Canada’s diversity,” the department said in a release. CMF board members are chosen by Heritage and will be nominated by Minister Mélanie Joly.
The CMF, of course, fosters, promotes, develops and finances the production of Canadian content and relevant applications for all audiovisual media platforms. It is funded by Canadians through their cable, satellite or IPTV subscriptions as well as through their tax dollars from the contribution to the fund from the federal government.
These are part-time positions. Following a ministerial nomination, the selected candidates do not become members of the Public Service of Canada, says the listing. An annual retainer (amounts subject to revision) of $34,280 (directors) – $57,132 (chair) and per diems of $686 – $1,372 are paid by the CMFC.
