Finance Minister Bill Morneau's former chief of staff Ben Chin will start a new job as a senior adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week.
Ben Chin has spent much of his political career out of the headlines — but over the winter his name came up during testimony by former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould about the SNC-Lavalin affair.
Wilson-Raybould asserted that Chin warned her staff about the political impact of potential job losses during a Quebec provincial election if the embattled Montreal-based engineering firm was unable to secure a plea-bargain-type deal with prosecutors over alleged corruption in Libya.
What is on your chin Chin?
