A member of Health Minister Jane Philpott’s staff has lost his job after he gained unauthorized access to NDP offices near Parliament Hill.
Mark Livingstone inappropriately entered the New Democrats’ research office on Sparks Street around 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 3, 2016, the day before the Liberal government’s one-year anniversary in power. On Nov. 8, the Liberal House Leader’s chief of staff, Rheal Lewis, notified NDP Whip Marjolaine Boutin-Sweet a Liberal staffer had entered the office days earlier.
According to NDP deputy chief of staff Lucy Watson, the party learned who the staffer was only on Tuesday – the day The Globe and Mail asked Ms. Philpott’s office about the incident – in a letter Mr. Livingstone dropped off at the office for NDP Leader Tom Mulcair.
