The Ottawa bureau was short a correspondent after Roger Smith, a fixture at the parliamentary bureau for nearly two decades, retired on March 15. Sachedina joined CTV National News as a correspondent in September 2009, according to his bio. Previously he worked as a reporter-anchor at Toronto’s CP24 channel.
