Team NDP
Brad Lavigne, principal secretary in Nycole Turmel’s office, former director of the NDP and a close advisor to Jack Layton, tendered his resignation with Ms. Turmel two weeks ago and will be moving on after 10 years with the federal party.
Meanwhile, Thomas Mulcair has announced that veteran MP Libby Davies will be one of his two deputy leaders, continuing in a post she currently occupies and was appointed to by Mr. Layton. Ms. Davies supported Brian Topp in the party leadership race.
