It calls on Simon specifically to take the title from former senator Don Meredith, who was charged with three counts of sexual assault in October and has previously been the subject of a number of Senate ethics committee probes — one of which recommended he be expelled due to his relationship with a teenage girl.Meredith, a Pentecostal minister, was appointed to the Senate by former prime minister Stephen Harper in 2010.
By virtue of his former position, Meredith retains certain parliamentary privileges, such as being permitted to attend state ceremonies. "This is an issue for the government to consider. The Governor General acts on the advice of the government," the spokesperson said in an email. Verner also said the Governor General doesn't need to act on the advice of the government in this instance.
The alleged behaviour included unwanted kissing and exposure of his penis, along with yelling and aggressive behaviour in the office.said his alleged actions against them show he is not an "honourable" man.
