Jerome Kennedy explains the role of Dundergov comms staff during Question Period on Monday:

I do not think I need to remind the member opposite that communications personnel in government are not political staff; they are members of the public service. They are not involved in political events such as fundraisers, and they are not involved in political speeches.

So, Mr. Speaker, this is a function within government that deals with a division that is important, and it was simply a review to see if we could better deliver services.

Public servants, for the record, are neutral and non-partisan.

So, if the comms staff are non-partisan, apolitical public servants, why, this corner must ask again, are they involved in producing and disseminating partisan-politically charged press releases such as this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, or this?

And those are just from this calendar year.

UPDATED TO ADD: They just can't help themselves, can they?
