Mr. Speaker, there were eight qualified candidates short-listed and interviewed for the position of CRTC vice-chair, and Tom Pentefountas was not on that list.
We know there was direct involvement in the nomination from the PMO, which means direct involvement from Dimitri Soudas.
This is the kicker. The process closed in June and, five months later, in December, Tom Pentefountas told the national media that he did not know anything about the job. So, either Pentefountas was lying or someone fast-tracked his appointment when he was not eligible.
Who put him on the top of the list and who broke the rules to put him there?
