New — Senate committee wants to strip Don Meredith of his 'honourable' title. CBC.ca/1.5391315 #cdnpoli #SenCA
Beyond Meredith, Sen. Joyal said today the ethics committee will have an interim report on Beyak by Jan. 31, 2020. The committee has said she must be complete five steps - including anti-racism training - or else she could be suspended again. BG: cbc.ca/news/politics/… #SenCA
Sen. Joyal is up on this again today. He says clearly Meredith's conduct was "reprehensible and certainly not a model for any senator." Joyal says they cannot impose any more sanctions on him expect stripping him of "honourable" and forbidding him from attending state ceremonies.
Joyal says, without action, Meredith can sign his name as "honourable" for life - and take part in state funerals with preferential seating. But, Joyal says, Meredith should be allowed due process - and he can make his case to keep the title.
"Let's give him an opportunity to be heard," Joyal says. He says the ethics code allows for people to make their case. Another senator, Josee Verner, just wants to get to the point and ask the PM/GG to strip Meredith of the title without further debate.
