GATINEAU – Steven Harroun has been promoted to chief compliance and enforcement officer, the CRTC announced today. He joined the CRTC in 2002 and has held various positions in the former economic analysis and research group and later in the former policy development and research sector.
Since 2012, as director general, strategic policy within CASP, “he has lead the development and implementation of key Commission policy decisions including: the Wireless Code, Video Relay Service, Broadcast Emergency Alerting, and Broadband Performance Measurement,” said CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais in a memo to staff Monday.
He replaces Manon Bombardier, who has held the position since November of 2013. She has moved onto a new position at Health Canada.
“He has also lead the Commission's approach with foreign jurisdictions, including incoming and outgoing delegations and our collaboration with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and the International Institute of Communications,” reads the memo.
“Steven’s extensive experience at the Commission and as our representative with the Community of Federal Regulators, his recent consumer-focused agenda, and his positive, collaborative leadership style will be invaluable as he works with his new team to continue to protect Canadians.”
His first day as Chief Compliance and Enforcement Officer will be November 14. His replacement as DG, strategy policy, has not yet been named.
