During a hearing for an occupational health and safety reprisal application, the applicant's counsel sought to cross-examine an employer witness on the identity of a confidential source who had informed the employer of the applicant's driver's licence suspension.
The employer objected on the grounds of relevance and privilege.
The Board upheld the objection, finding that the identity of the source was not relevant to the core issue of whether the applicant was disciplined as a reprisal for advancing health and safety concerns.
