Anne Dawson now head of PMO appointments teamAnne Dawson has had a soft landing since losing her post as chief of staff to the minister for FedDev Ontario amid the staffing change-ups that followed last August’s mini-cabinet shuffle, and is now at work as senior director of appointments in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office. Dawson had been chief of staff to then-minister for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) Helena Jaczek starting in November 2021. On Aug. 31, Jaczek was shuffled into the public services and procurement portfolio, trading places with Liberal MP Filomena Tassi, who is now the FedDev Ontario minister. Jaczek opted to promote Cory Pike, who’d been a senior adviser for COVID response in the public services office under Tassi, to serve as chief of staff. Tassi, meanwhile, chose to hire Jennifer Kuss to run her office as minister for the economic development agency. Anne Dawson is now senior director of appointments in the PMO. Photograph courtesy of LinkedIn Dawson has been working as a ministerial chief of staff on the Hill since 2017, starting out in charge of then-science and sport minister Kirsty Duncan’s office. After the 2019 federal election, Dawson became chief of staff to then-seniors minister Deb Schulte, whose office she ran through the entire 43rd Parliament. A former president of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, Dawson is an ex-chief political correspondent for The National Post on the Hill and a former Ottawa bureau chief for Sun Media. She was also previously Queen’s Park bureau chief for the Toronto Sun. Since leaving the Post and journalism in general in 2006, Dawson has been executive director of communications for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, an adviser with MC2, a strategic partner with M&C Consulting, and a partner with Dawson Ferguson Strategies—her last role before being hired to run Duncan’s office. Dawson is now leading the PMO appointments team. Nadia Khaiati, who replaced Hilary Leftick as director of app

Sport Minister St-Onge refused to go to Qatar for FIFA World Cup to show solidarity with LGBTQ community and migrant workers, say Liberal sourcesSport Minister Pascale St-Onge, who made Canadian history as the first out lesbian cabinet minister when she was appointed in 2021, declined to go to Qatar recently for the FIFA World Cup as a show of solidarity with the LGBTQ community and because of allegations of human rights abuses against migrant workers in the host country of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. “I am proud of the Canada National soccer team qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Their qualification is a historic event,” said St-Onge (Brome-Missisquoi, Que.) in a written statement to The Hill Times. International Development Minister Harjit Sajjan (Vancouver South, B.C.) went in her place. “Our government was very concerned about reports of dangerous working conditions in building the World Cup stadium and infrastructure, especially those resulting in death. I am happy that my colleague, Minister Sajjan, while in Qatar had a constructive dialogue with their government on supporting LGBTQ and human rights. I commend the fact that he also acknowledges ILO’s [International Labour Organization] work to improve migrant workers’ conditions after the World Cup,” St-Onge said in her statement. The 2022 FIFA World Cup is currently taking place in Qatar from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18. The Canadian Soccer team qualified to play in the World Cup for the first time since 1986. To represent the Canadian government at the World Cup, the sport minister was the natural choice, but St-Onge informed the PMO weeks in advance that she would not go. Homosexuality is a criminal offence in Qatar, and organizations like Human Rights Watch say LGBTQ people are being arbitrarily arrested in that country. That organization says it has documented “six cases of severe and repeated beatings and five cases of sexual harassment in police custody between 2019 and 2022.” “Security forces arrested people in public places based solely on their gender expression and unlawfully searched their phones,” a Human Rights Watch report alleges. “As a requ
