Before joining Morneau's office in fall 2017, the veteran political aide worked for former British Columbia premier Christy Clark and former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty.Chin, a former TV journalist, will be reporting to Trudeau's chief of staff Katie Telford starting Friday.
He has spent much of his political career out of the headlines -- but over the winter his name came up during testimony by former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould about the SNC-Lavalin affair. Wilson-Raybould asserted that Chin warned her staff about the political impact of potential job losses during a Quebec provincial election if the embattled Montreal-based engineering firm was unable to secure a plea-bargain-type deal with prosecutors over alleged corruption in Libya.
Morneau has insisted Chin didn't do anything inappropriate in discussing the SNC-Lavalin case with Wilson-Raybould's staff.
Big mistake , Canadians know this person was involved in SNC scandal ,so sad cant anyone help this drama teacher he should have looked outside the box & tried a new direction ,instead we will know by hiring this man that Trudeau has been bought &paid for by friends & companies
ctvqp He used to be Christy Clark's fixer in BC. So he certainly has experience working for shady politicians.
Seems about right since Ben and his boss, panamaBill were central in trying to pressure JWR into doing the wrong thing!!! I’m sure he will fit in just fine in the PMO!!
As the corruption Campaign grows.Friends employing friend.
JT chose another that was very involved in the SNC scandal.
