Payette’s announcement on Thursday that she was leaving her high-profile role came just hours after news broke that the independent investigation into workplace harassment allegations against her was completed, and the details of the report were “damaging.” Addressing Canadians from his Rideau Cottage residence, the prime minister said that everyone deserves a healthy and safe work environment, including the employees who work at Rideau Hall.
A royal spokesperson has acknowledged the call between and the prime minister and the Queen to discuss recent events, but would not elaborate on what the pair discussed. On an interim basis, Wagner is serving as the administrator of the powers the governor general holds, but the prime minister has said recommendations for a formal replacement will be sent to the Queen soon.
Given the significance of a governor general during minority parliaments, the prime minister is facing calls from the Official Opposition to consult other parties before nominating a potential replacement. The governor general is also in charge of turning bills into law through royal assent, and some constitutional experts have raised concerns about it being problematic to have the top judge signing off on laws that may appear before them in the future.
Unbelievable that she will still collect nearly a 150k annuity for life given she only held role for just over 3 years. Appalling JustinTrudeau keithbaldrey richardzussman MercedesGlobal globalnews CBCNews
Rules around JustinTrudeau apology: 1. Do it for political points. 2. Ensure tears & a little, sniffle... choke up. 3. Lie first, apologize second. 4. Wait until after proof of the lie emerges. 5. Check opinion poll for help. 6. Don’t admit Harper committee was right. cdnpoli
So $400K for this consultant’s reports, plus the $250K+ that the GG has spent dealing with complaints, & who knows how much severance & pension she & her secretary will collect in pensions. The largess of government never stops. TrudeauCorruption TrudeauMustResign
Please remind us again why this position is even required.
And also, if someone doesn’t do the job he or she was hired to do, then they shouldn’t be allowed to then collect a six figure income for the rest of their lives. Something is wrong here.
She gets $150k/life? No!
Now let's talk about how even a GG is not above being held accountable for their toxic behaviour in the workplace. Complaints were fully investigated, not swept under the carpet. Buy the way, not sure how you vet someone for the possibility they are going to get drunk on power.
$393k report.... really! FFS, it seemed quite apparent long before the report that there were serious issues! Surely this could have been managed more effectively than this? As I recall only PMJT thought she was doing a great job. He clearly seems infantile in female issues
The process Stephen Harper set up worked well. But out of pettiness it was abandoned.
Also time to reassess how little potato was picked for leader. Clearly a mistake was made!
IAmJericho for GG! He'll straighten out the Ottawa inner circle in a hurry. GGJericho
That's discussing for that report a lot of people living under the poverty line well never see that kind of money in there entire life and that's for 5 months work
JustinTrudeau must appoint someone that we don't know. A 'bold' appointment could make him again look foolish and populist. The GovernorGeneral represents the best of us: choose someone who has quietly devoted his or her life to public service and to the betterment of Canada.
No room for bullying anywhere
Lol. She is wearing a v necked t shirt. Weird.
I’d you think that’s steep, check out Adrienne Clarkson’s atrocious travel and reno spending....plus her current draw.
Start buy appointing people based on their skills and work history rather than by their race or sex.
pick me!!!!
Santa?
I'm just going to throw this out there...
The best way to ensure confidence in the next G-G is by making sure Justin plays no part in the selection process.
I could have told you she was a bitch. Wouldn’t have cost you a thing.
You know, we don't actually *have* to be under the British monarchy...
Ctv is adopting new workplace standards for itself
SKIN 👏 COLOR 👏
Wow, the government spends $393,000 to investigate the behaviour of their GG but won’t instruct the CRA to stop mistreating the self-employed who have rightfully received the CRB. JustinTrudeau cafreeland CityCynthia
How about just getting rid of this useless, tax wasting, position!!!!!!!!!!
So it cost us $400k to find out we need to fire her and then when she leaves we still have to pay for her expenses?!? What the actual F?!?
aww did boy wonder figure out that 'Honey, should I pick your friend' isn't an actual way to pick the GG?
