OTTAWA — Former Liberal cabinet minister and Toronto police chief Bill Blair is resigning from Parliament to become Canada’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, the Star has learned.
Two sources confirmed the MP for Scarborough Southwest was set to formally resign his seat on Monday, while Blair did not immediately respond to the Star’s request for comment.
At the same time, the Prime Minister’s Office was set to announce that Nathalie Drouin — the National Security and Intelligence Advisor to the prime minister, first appointed under Justin Trudeau — will leave the role to take up Canada’s ambassadorship to France and Monaco.
