The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that an outspoken regional commissioner at the CRTC has been terminated with cause, the Privy Council Office confirmed on Friday. The Globe's Christina Pellegrini writes that according to an electronic copy of an order-in-council from Thursday, the federal cabinet has revoked the appointment of Raj Shoan, the commissioner for Ontario at the federal broadcast regulator, as of June 24. This rare step was made based on the recommendation of Heritage Minister Melanie Joly. The CRTC reports to Parliament through the Minister of Canadian Heritage. The order states that Ms. Joly wrote to Mr. Shoan, 40, on Feb. 26 and told him that certain actions had been brought to her attention, calling "into question his capacity to continue serving as a commissioner." She invited him to respond to her concerns before a decision was made to terminate him for cause. Mr. Shoan replied on March 14. Mr. Shoan is no stranger to confrontation. He has clashed with Jean-Pierre Blais, the CRTC's chairman, on several occasions and their animosity has spilled into the courts, with Mr. Shoan filing three separate legal actions challenging the chairman's authority.
