Governor General strips two Order of Canada appointees of honours
The rare removals follow convictions and disciplinary findings against Peter Dalglish and Jacques Lamarre, with Lamarre also fined $75,000.
- Gov. Gen. Mary Simon stripped Peter Dalglish and Jacques Lamarre of their Order appointments, with notices of termination published in the Canada Gazette today.
- Dalglish, a humanitarian who founded Street Kids International, received the honour in 2016 but was convicted in 2019 of sexually abusing two boys in Nepal.
- Lamarre, former CEO of SNC-Lavalin appointed in 2005, recently lost his Quebec engineering licence following findings of corruption and collusion involving payments to the family of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
- Removal from the Order is a rare measure, with formal revocations reflecting a standard procedure for addressing serious misconduct among honourees.
- Signed by Simon on April 15, these terminations finalize the removal of national honours from individuals convicted of serious misconduct, reinforcing the established accountability mechanism.
