There has been a new appointment to the position of chair at the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, and it's someone who has a past in Toronto.
Derek Ballantyne was appointed to the post for the next five years by the federal government.
But his name may ring a bell for you.
He was once the CEO of Toronto Community Housing, but stepped down before an auditor's report showed that millions of dollars were allegedly wasted in a spending scandal.
But that scandal followed Ballantyne to BILD Toronto, where he was the COO.
He was asked to resign by then-mayor Rob Ford.
For this role, Ballantyne will be helping to implement the Liberals $5 billion national housing strategy, with a focus on creating new social housing units.
When asked about the selection process for the board, the CMHC responded to NEWSTALK1010 with the following statement:
"Note that all members were selected via an open, transparent, and merit-based process.
Appointments to the Board of Directors of CMHC follow the Governor in Council (GiC) appointment process and procedures. Candidates are selected from across Canada.
When appointments are made, consideration is given to CMHC's board skills profile which sets out the core attributes, competencies and knowledge expected of all directors and specific skills, knowledge and experience required of the board collectively. "
