OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is considering “all options” to evaluate claims of harassment at Rideau Hall after unprecedented allegations that Governor General Julie Payette has created a “toxic” workplace there. Contacted Wednesday for comment, a spokesperson for Payette referred the Star to Rideau Hall’s public statement from Tuesday night. Payette is going to make an extraordinary Governor General. Charities which had previously enjoyed the support of the Governor General were left to wait for Payette’s decision on which ones to back, the Star reported at the time. Reached Wednesday afternoon, Queen Elizabeth’s media relations team deferred questions about her representative’s conduct to Rideau Hall.
