"Gov. Gen. Julie Payette's disregard for the Mounties paid to protect her has resulted in added security risks and unnecessary taxpayer costs, according to RCMP and Rideau Hall sources. Payette's secrecy and resistance to working with the RCMP routinely sends her protective detail scrambling to fulfil last-minute requests and drives up spending on overtime, hotel and plane tickets, multiple sources told CBC News. Payette has even made repeated attempts to slip away from her protectors in Canada and abroad, sources say. The RCMP has also had to apologize for her behaviour to foreign security abroad because she treated them so poorly, said sources. The latest revelations come as the Governor General's office is under an extraordinary workplace review by the Privy Council Office after CBC News reported claims Payette has belittled, berated and publicly humiliated employees."

My Conclusion
The "knives" are out, and a "not guilty until proven" argument is being presented. In my opinion, the "Where there's smoke ..." theory, should rule the Privy Council review. The Prime Minister appointed Ms. Payette while rejecting Stephen Harper's request for the usual advisory board selection process and, now, he should whisper our request for her resignation. Permitting her a further embarrassing three years in position could be seen as excessive (If Prince Harry is able to resign, why not Ms. Payette ?).
It could permit the long-awaited nomination of someone from the indigenous community, perhaps.
