The process of appointment for the RMC Principal is progressing, albeit slowly. As you know, the Principal of RMC is a Governor in Council appointment and its process must be approved by the Prime Minister before it can begin. We are told that this should take place as soon as Parliament is back in session, and hopefully by the end of September.

As you will recall, CMCFA members were involved in a consultation committee which reviewed the position’s proposed Notice of Opportunity, proposed interview questions and identified other key considerations for identifying a successful candidate. Faculty will also be represented in the process as our CMCFA President, Helen Luu, will be a member of the Search Committee.

In answer to questions put to us by some of our members, please note that the CMCFA was not consulted on the process that led to the appointment of the Interim Principal.

Sincerely,

Sylvain (Sly) Leblanc

CMCFA Interim President
