Louise Arbour, a former Supreme Court justice, has been appointed as the new Governor General of Canada. Arbour, 79, has a distinguished career, having served as UN human rights commissioner and chief prosecutor at The Hague. She made history by indicting a sitting head of state, President Slobodan Milosevic, for crimes against humanity. Premier David Eby addressed claims about a B.C. minister under investigation for allegedly helping China, stating that neither the RCMP nor Canada's spy agency have raised concerns about his cabinet or caucus. Eby had multiple briefings with CSIS and the RCMP, and none pointed to concerns about any government member. Former Vancouver mayor Kennedy Stewart claimed a B.C. cabinet minister is under investigation, but Eby maintained that he would have removed anyone with concerns from cabinet.
