Gov. Gen. Julie Payette faces accusations of creating a 'toxic' workplace for staff at Rideau Hall.

Gov. Gen. Julie Payette has faced accusations that she created an 'unbearable' workplace.

If Julie Payette is replaced, Maj.-Gen. Jocelyn Paul, the most senior First Nations member in the Canadian Armed Forces, is an outstanding candidate for the job, Matthew Fisher says.

Renewed interest has been sparked into the role of the Governor General in Canada — and what happens if the person holding this office requires discipline or dismissal.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland wouldn't say whether she believes the expenses were appropriate but she did say she thinks questions about them are legitimate.

'I’ve worked in very, very tense work environments, but nothing, nothing like that,' a source said.

The CBC reported Tuesday that Payette had yelled at, belittled and publicly humiliated employees, reducing some to tears or prompting them to quit. Global News has not independently verified the allegations in the report.
