The exodus of senior staff in ministerial offices coincides with the party’s loss of its top staffer, national campaign director Jeremy Broadhurst
’s government is contending with an exodus of senior staff just as the minority Liberals are returning to a precarious position in the House of Commons, having lost the automatic support of the New Democratic Party.
The Globe and Mail is not identifying the sources because they were not permitted to disclose the internal staff changes. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly’s chief of staff, Peter Wilkinson, is leaving less than two years after he joined the office. Long-time senior staffer Jamie Kippen has already had his last day as Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s chief. Jude Welch, the chief for the Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge, has already left.
Two senior officials said they do not expect Mr. Trudeau to name a replacement for Mr. Broadhurst at the gathering with caucus. However, one of the officials, who works in the PMO, said caucus will be presented with an overarching road map to the next election. The Globe is not identifying the two officials who were not permitted to disclose the internal planning.
“There is a sense that the Trudeau government has run its course and that defeat in the next election is a guarantee. The departure of senior staff suggests that even those who are part of Team Trudeau can see the writing on the wall.”
