One of the longest House of Commons committee filibusters was attempt by Liberals to prevent prime minister\u0027s chief of staff from testifying.
Both Liberal and Conservative governments have used ministerial responsibility to prevent their staff from testifying before committees.
Staffers often use social media to amplify government messages, becoming public figures in their own right, Marland said, at times getting involved in the political fray.“I think an awful lot of times they’re the ones kind of setting the course of government, or are perceived to be. And that’s the thing about politics, a lot of the time it’s the idea that perception is reality,” Marland said.
Like Telford, staffers are often invited to government caucus meetings, a practice that was once off-limits to unelected chiefs of staff.
