Termination of Military Merit Appointment

Summary#

The Canada Gazette says the appointment of Chief Warrant Officer (Retired) Robert Pageau to the Order of Military Merit was ended. The termination was made by an ordinance signed on September 25, 2025, and the notice appeared in the Gazette on November 22, 2025.

What it does#

• Ends the membership of Chief Warrant Officer (Retired) Robert Pageau in the Order of Military Merit.
• Records that the termination was made by an ordinance signed by the Governor General on September 25, 2025.
• Notes the administrative notice dated November 1, 2025 and published in the Canada Gazette on November 22, 2025.
• Does not give any reason for the termination in the published notice.

Who's affected#

• Most directly: Chief Warrant Officer (Retired) Robert Pageau, whose appointment was terminated.
• The Order of Military Merit, because its membership roll and public record are changed.
• The wider military community and anyone following honours and service records may notice the change.
• If the Gazette notice is all that is published, the general public and media are likely the only other affected audiences.

Why it matters#

• This is a formal removal from a national military honour. That affects the individual’s official standing and public record.
• The notice itself is short and gives no reason. If people want to know why, they would need further information from official sources.
• For most members of the public, this is an administrative update. It may be more relevant to veterans, service members, historians, or journalists tracking honours and discipline.
