Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the name of his new national security and intelligence adviser Monday, moving the head of Canada's electronic spy agency into the position being vacated by the retiring Daniel Jean. During his tenure he held a number of senior positions, including deputy minister of Foreign Affairs and deputy minister of Canadian Heritage. Daniel Jean, the outgoing National Security and Intelligence Adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has served in the federal public service for 35 years. Scheer agreed, on the condition that Jean give the House of Commons national security and defence committee an unclassified version of the briefing first. A statement from the PMO said that Trudeau congratulated Jean on his retirement "following an exceptional career."
