The research bureau at the time was looking for ways to optimize caucus communications, of responding better to constituents, constituent communications, and also providing the caucus with ongoing information as to, for example, what people are speaking about on Twitter. A lot of the work that I did in relation to the LRB was—and the word “preliminary” is appropriate because it was a new government at the time. They were just setting up the office, so they wanted help with whom they should be hiring; what they should be doing; how they should be collecting insight to inform caucus meetings when they're talking about issue x or issue y; and more broadly, how to optimize communications with constituents, for example, managing correspondence and things like that.
A lot of that was to help them, as they were setting up, as they were transitioning into government, and as they were hiring their staff. I didn't want to become a staff member. It wasn't necessarily something that I envisioned doing for a long time. The work that was done wasn't necessarily groundbreaking or anything. It was just to help the LRB during that transitioning process.
