Another member of Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government has left his post, the party has confirmed.

John Sinclair left his job as the executive director of the PC Caucus Service Bureau.

“I can’t comment on personnel issues but I can confirm that John Sinclair is no longer with PC Caucus Services,” PC director of communications Jeff Silverstein said Thursday.

Earlier this year, Sinclair simultaneously served as deputy chief of staff to interim leader Vic Fedeli, along with his executive director position, after former Ontario PC president Rick Dykstra resigned following sexual assault allegations in January.

Sinclair’s departure makes this the third instance of a Ford’s staffer leaving this month. Last week, former cabinet minister Jim Wilson abruptly resigned over sexual misconduct allegations.

Hours later, Andrew Kimber, Ford’s executive director of issues management and legislative affairs also resigned over allegations.
