Anne McGrath, an associate with Hill+Knowlton Strategies in Ottawa, said she is now helping the party transition to life in a minority parliament led by the Liberals. She said she is advising on the structure of the party, leader’s office and caucus, as well as on different scenarios in an unpredictable House of Commons where the Liberals can stay in power with the support of just one of three main opposition parties — the Conservatives, the Bloc Québécois or the NDP.
McGrath said there will be some staffing changes to adjust to this new reality. “I don’t anticipate huge changes, but there will be some,” she said.
