Marco Mendicino PC (Italian: [ˈmarko mendiˈtʃiːno]; born July 28, 1973) is a Canadian lawyer and politician who has served as the 16th Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister since 2025. A member of the Liberal Party, he served as the member of Parliament for Eglinton—Lawrence from 2015 to 2025. He previously served as the minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship from 2019 to 2021 and the minister of public safety from 2021 to 2023.
In a statement issued on January 2, 2025, Mendicino said he would not be running again in the upcoming 2025 federal election, criticizing the Trudeau government for not taking a more pro-Israel stance (such as on the genocide case against Israel).[3] On March 10, 2025, newly-elected Prime Minister Mark Carney chose Mendicino as his transitional Chief of Staff.
