Former Gov. Gen. Julie Payette was frustrated that officers in her RCMP protective detail were offered the chance to give testimony in the third-party workplace review released in redacted form on Wednesday, sources have told the National Post.
Payette felt the Privy Council Office should have kept the review to staff working at Rideau Hall, and that it was a grievous breach of her privacy and her relationship with her protective detail — officers mandated to protect Payette around the clock, including on her personal time — that they were included in the review’s scope. The review team conducted 92 interviews between Oct. 12 and Nov. 23, 2020 for the report, including 22 with non-Rideau Hall staff.

The RCMP has seen “erosion” of public confidence in its leadership since the appointment of Brenda Lucki as $368,000-a year Commissioner, says in-house research. “We’re not a perfect organization,” Lucki earlier testified at the Commons public safety committee.
