Benjamin Perrin says in a statement that based on what he’s personally seen and experienced, he felt there was no other choice but to abandon his lifelong Conservative vote.
Perrin worked in the PMO back in 2013, and was part of the staff that dealt with the scandal surrounding Sen. Mike Duffy’s contested living expenses.
But Perrin very publicly broke ranks with the government this August when he testified at Duffy’s fraud and breach of trust trial.
He said that Harper’s most senior aide Ray Novak was told about former chief of staff Nigel Wright’s secret repayment of Duffy’s $90,000 in expenses.
Novak, who currently works as a senior campaign director, has denied that, and Harper has backed his version of events.
Perrin is a University of British Columbia law professor, and is currently on parental leave.
