Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez has appointed the
next head of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
Vicky Eatrides will serve as the broadcasting
regulator’s chair and CEO for a five-year term starting on Jan. 5.
Eatrides was most recently an assistant deputy
minister at Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, a role she
took on in 2019 after serving in several senior roles at the Competition
Bureau.
She replaces Ian Scott, who has been the CRTC chair
since 2017.
The change in leadership comes as the regulator finds
itself in the national spotlight with two controversial government bills that
aim to give the CRTC new powers making their way through Parliament. (CP)
