Cameron Ahmad, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s longtime director of communications, plans to leave the Prime Minister’s office next month.
Meanwhile, sources who have spoken to CBC News on the condition that they are not named say Jeremy Broadhurst, who currently serves as a senior adviser to the Prime Minister, will leave the PMO to help the Liberal party with election readiness.
Ahmad has been responsible for PMO communications since January 2019, having previously served as Deputy Director. Before the Liberals formed the government, Ahmad was press secretary for Trudeau.
His impending departure was announced to PMO staff on Tuesday by Chief of Staff Katie Telford and Deputy Chief of Staff Brian Clow.
“As a member of the team since our early days, and alongside the Prime Minister through three General Elections, Cameron has played a critical role in communicating all of our government’s key milestones to Canadians,” Telford and Clow wrote in a statement. memo.
“Together with an incredible and hard-working team, he has helped us communicate our government’s progressive agenda and achievements, from taking historic steps to protect the environment and reduce poverty, to supporting Ukraine and supporting people during the global pandemic, just to name a few.”
Ahmad is only Trudeau’s second director of communications. He replaced Kate Purchase, who left in December 2019. A permanent replacement for Ahmad has not been announced.
Broadhurst, who served as national director of the Liberal Party from 2013 to 2015, also served as campaign manager in 2019.
