In the Wynne government, Camille served under the Deputy Premier and President of the Treasury Board, as well as the Minister of Housing and Minister Responsible for Poverty Reduction, as the senior policy advisor responsible for the Poverty Reduction Strategy, the Local Poverty Reduction Fund, and the historic Basic Income Pilot.
