As confusion and controversy reigns supreme at the offices of Conservative Sen. Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu, it’s at least clear that his ex-girlfriend, Isabelle Lapointe, won’t be working for him any longer.

Senate colleagues said Wednesday that the pair had broken up, although it is not clear if that occurred after their relationship was first reported on the weekend by La Presse.

Lapointe, who was Boisvenu’s executive assistant and communications person during working hours, was listed as a contact for the senator on his website Wednesday evening, but that was no longer the case by Thursday morning.

Multiple reports out of Quebec said Lapointe had been, or was in the process, of being transferred to another senator’s office.

Neither the senator nor Lapointe have responded to interview requests from the National Post or other media. Calls to the senator’s office went to voicemail.

Both Boisvenu, 64, and Lapointe appear to have taken down their Facebook pages, or at least set them to private, after the controversy was picked up by English-language media Wednesday. A picture on Lapointe’s profile (seen above), dated Feb. 8, 2013, appears to show the now-ex couple in happier times.
