The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is an administrative tribunal, established under the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act, which regulates and supervises Canadian broadcasting and telecommunications in the public interest, as well as enhances the privacy and safety of Canadians. In addition, the Commission has responsibilities under Canada’s anti-spam legislation, which addresses the sending of commercial electronic messages (for example, spam), among other things. The Commission’s role is thus to maintain a delicate balance in the public interest between the cultural, social and economic goals of its governing legislation on broadcasting and telecommunications. Access to network infrastructure has never been more important and new network technologies and shifts in competition present broad opportunities and challenges. There is also a further expanded mandate in the digital sphere presently under consideration in Parliament. This is an exciting time of change as the regulator evolves with the needs of Canadians and the creative and communication sectors and changing technology. The Commission is accountable for its activities to Parliament through the Minister of Canadian Heritage.The Chairperson is the Chief Executive Officer of the Commission, has supervision over and direction of the work and staff of the Commission, and presides at meetings of the Commission. The Chairperson establishes the corporate vision and values, defines the strategic priorities and plans and sets up the organization structure and operational systems and processes to guide the work of members and staff. This includes assigning members to panels and providing strong functional direction and advice to members regarding their delegated panel responsibilities and other areas of activity and to ensure executive direction of professional staff. They direct the development of policies, recommend their approval to the Commission’s members and oversee their implementation. With the exception of decision-making responsibilities, the Vice-Chairpersons and members report to the Chairperson.
