OTTAWA, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday said that his National Security and Intelligence Adviser Greta Bossenmaier will retire in early December.
Bossenmaier, who began her career in the public service in 1984 as a defense scientist at the Operational Research and Analysis Establishment of the Department of National Defense, was the third national security and intelligence adviser to serve under Trudeau since May 23 of last year.
Before then, she served as chief of the Communications Security Establishment, deputy minister in the Afghanistan Task Force, Privy Council Office, and senior associate deputy minister of International Development.
David Morrison, the prime minister's foreign and defense policy adviser, will temporarily act as national security and intelligence adviser in addition to his regular role.
A new national security and intelligence adviser will be appointed soon to fill the vacancy created by Bossenmaier's retirement, Trudeau added in a statement.
