The Governor General of Canada has hired former Supreme Court of Canada justice Michel Bastarache as a "constitutional adviser" following multiple reports alleging the work climate at Rideau Hall has become toxic, Radio-Canada has learned.
The Privy Council Office launched an unprecedented third-party review in July in response to a CBC News report featuring a dozen public servants and former employees confidentially claiming Gov. Gen. Julie Payette belittled, berated and publicly humiliated Rideau Hall staff.
Bastarache, who served on the Supreme Court of Canada from Sept. 30, 1997 to July 1, 2008, has been tasked with safeguarding the interests of the institution of the Governor General of Canada while the review is taking place.
