Former SNC-Lavalin CEO stripped of Order of Canada

Governor General Mary Simon has removed former SNC-Lavalin CEO Jacques Lamarre from the Order of Canada, Canada's highest civilian honour. The decision, made public Friday through the Canada Gazette, followed Lamarre's conviction on corruption and collusion charges earlier this year. The Office of the Secretary to the Governor General declined to provide specific reasons for the termination, citing standard privacy protocols for such cases.
