Finance Minister Jim Flaherty: The Canadian Radio-Television And Telecommunications Commission

Durham Radio Dept: In his letter to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, Flaherty praised Durham Radio Inc. s bid to obtain a licence to operate a new FM station for the Toronto area, according to The Star. Durham Radio has a strong track record for providing excellent service for their listeners and this puts them in a solid position to offer this new service, Flaherty wrote in the letter, dated March 30, 2012 and oTTAWA Finance Minister Jim Flaherty urged the federal broadcast regulator to grant a radio licence to a company in his Ontario riding even though government rules on cabinet responsibility forbid ministers from influencing the decisions of administrative tribunals. The broadcaster, based in Flaherty s Whitby-Oshawa riding, was one of several applicants last year for the hotly contested spot on the FM dial. The company which already has country and rock radio stations in Oshawa and Hamilton was proposing an easy-listening outlet. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
