The seat of government seems to have become a popular place to host musical chair parties: according to our operatives, Finance Minister Carole Taylor's ministerial assistant Lisa Braman - who was elevated to that post back in June - has been shuffled to Children and Family Development Minister Stan Hagen's office. Survey says her replacement will be Steve Simons, who was most recently communications director for the government's offshore oil and gas team. Ms. Braman was previously an aide to former caucus executive director Steve Vanagas (now a deputy chief of staff in the premier's office).
