OTTAWA – Canadian Heritage has released Friday the job posting for the Quebec representative on the CRTC.
The job ad says the department will review applications starting March 20 for the position that was recently vacated by Alicia Barin, who became the full-time vice-chair of broadcasting in December.
With the Barin announcement came the appointment of commission head Vicky Eatrides and vice-chair of telecommunications, Adam Scott. Then, late last month, Heritage appointed Bram Abramson for commissioner of Ontario.
The Quebec commissioner position is the final piece to complete the nine-person commission, which received a new policy direction from Innovation Canada last week and is expected to be infused with new obligations under bills C-11 and C-18 when those are passed in Parliament.
“There is also a further expanded mandate in the digital sphere presently under consideration in Parliament,” the job listing said. “This is an exciting time of change as the regulator evolves with the ever-changing needs of consumers, creators and technology.”
