Prime Minister Trudeau has picked Iain Stewart, president of the National Research Council, to be head of the Public Health Agency of Canada after PHAC’s president suddenly resigned last week.
Tina Namiesniowski said in an email to staff on Sept. 18 that she was stepping down in order to “step aside so someone else can step up.” “I am now at the point where I need to take a break,” she wrote, having headed PHAC through the pandemic thus far.
