A disgraced former senator now facing sexual assault charges still retains his 'honourable' title as a former member of Canada's upper house.
Then-senator Don Meredith in his lawyer's office in downtown Toronto on March 16, 2017.
But since Joyal retired from the chamber more than two years ago, none of his fellow senators have attempted to finish what he started. There seems to be little appetite to resume Joyal's efforts, even though Meredith now faces criminal charges. Six former Senate employees and a parliamentary constable also have alleged Meredith acted inappropriately toward them while he was serving in the upper house.
While Joyal recommended that the ethics committee study the matter before asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to act, Verner called for a more direct route. She said the Senate should immediately ask the prime minister to instruct the Governor General to drop the "honourable" from Meredith's name.
