Former federal minister and outgoing MP Seamus O’Regan has joined Stewart McKelvey as a senior business advisor.
O’Regan, who represented St. John’s South-Mount Pearl, held several ministerial roles during his time in office, including Minister of Labour, Natural Resources, and Indigenous Services. He announced in 2024 that he would not seek re-election.
Before entering politics, O’Regan was a journalist and served in various roles with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. At Stewart McKelvey, he will provide strategic advice to clients in areas such as natural resources, Indigenous relations, and public policy.
Three people are vying to replace O’Regan: former provincial minister Tom Osborne for the Liberals, Corey Curtis for the Conservatives and Mike Peach of the Animal Protection Party of Canada. There have been no other confirmed candidates for other parties.
