Trudeau nominates Theberge, Belanger as commissioners for languages and lobbying
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau nominated an official languages commissioner on Thursday as well as a lobbying commissioner.
Trudeau’s choice for the languages job was Raymond Theberge, who has been president and vice-chancellor of Universite de Moncton since 2012.
The Franco-Manitoban’s name began circulating last week as the likely successor to Graham Fraser.
Madeleine Meilleur withdrew her candidacy earlier this year following accusations from the opposition she was too closely linked to the governing Liberals.
