CRTC posts commission vacancies

The CRTC posted a notice of vacancies for the positions of vice-chair of telecommunications and regional member for Ontario. The CRTC said in the posting Monday that the successful candidate for the vice-chair position, which ranges from $196,800 to $231,500 in salary, will have “extensive” experience providing corporate direction and leadership, as well as experience in the operation and conduct of a quasi-judicial tribunal, an agency or equivalent. “The ideal candidate possesses proven senior level decision-making experience with respect to sensitive and complex issues, as well as experience in developing, maintaining and managing successful stakeholder relationships and partnerships within and outside an organization,” the CRTC said. A CRTC official confirmed at the end of September that Len Katz’s term is ending and will not be renewed. Katz, who is the commission’s vice-chair of telecom and who served as acting chair from January to June, will leave on Oct. 11. The regional member position has a salary range of $139,900 to $164,500 and the successful candidate must have the ability to render “fair, equitable and timely” decisions and anticipate their short and long-term consequences, the notice said. For both positions, the CRTC said, the candidates must be university educated and “of sound judgment, integrity and impartiality.” Other commissioners’ terms set to expire next year are Timothy Denton on July 31, 2013, Suzanne Lamarre on June 29 Marc Patrone on March 18 Louise Poirier on Aug. 10 and Stephen Simpson on June 22. The Conservative government appointed Heritage Department bureaucrat Jean-Pierre Blais as the CRTC’s new chair on June 8. Only the federal cabinet can appoint new commissioners to the CRTC. The application deadline is Oct. 24, 2012.
