Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer, who was thrust into the spotlight when COVID hit, and who has faced criticism for her response to the pandemic, has been reappointed to another three-year term that also comes with a pay raise.
According to an order-in-council as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, Tam’s maximum pay has increased to $324,000 a year, up from $265,000 for her previous salary.
The revised remuneration brings Tam in line with other chief medical officers of heath in Canada, “with arguably less complex portfolios than she has,” said Josh Greenberg, a Carleton University professor who studies crisis communication.
