A look at the team behind Bloc Québécois Leader Blanchet

Led by chief of staff Mathias Boulianne, the Bloc leader’s office and research bureau team together include 25 staffers who help support the party’s 32-member caucus.

Between the leader’s office and the research bureau—which received $1,412,800 and $1,409,640 in funding, respectively, from the House of Commons for 2020-21—there are currently 25 Bloc Québécois staffers in place.
