Julie Payette was the subject of a CBC report this week in which sources, including some former employees, said they were yelled at or publicly humiliated, sometimes to the point of tears

Governor General Julie Payette delivers remarks during a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Statistics Canada at its headquarters in Ottawa on Friday, March 16, 2018. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin TangThe Privy Council Office says it will hire an independent, third-party investigator to look into claims of workplace harassment in the office of Governor-General Julie Payette.

Ms. Payette was the subject of a CBC report this week in which sources, including some former employees, said they were yelled at or publicly humiliated, sometimes to the point of tears. One of the issues raised in the report was that workplace complaints were often handled by Assunta Di Lorenzo, Ms. Payette’s long-time friend and secretary, who was herself the subject of some of the accusations.
