## Resource

A former Service Canada employee, Bonnie Lo, has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for stealing nearly $180,000 in unclaimed seniors benefits over five years — a crime that exploited vulnerable Canadians and shattered public trust. Despite pleading guilty and her defense citing childhood trauma, the judge rejected house arrest and probation, emphasizing the calculated, repeated nature of her fraud and her prior conviction. The court ruled jail time was necessary to hold her accountable and send a clear message: public officials who abuse trust face serious consequences.
