Letter says recipients are welcome to reapply under new appointments process

A letter sent Monday by the Liberal government leaves more than 30 ​people appointed to plum patronage posts in the dying days of Stephen Harper's Conservative government with a​ tough choice: step away ​voluntarily ​from their lucrative posts ​or face the possibility of a public backlash.

The letter targets ​dozens​ of ​board members, museum directors and advisers who were either appointed or had their appointments extended in the days before Harper called a summer election. Many of the appointments come with annual salaries well in excess of $100,000.

All of these examples quoted in the CBC article? They were people *re-appointed* by Harper. No new appointments.
