INTERIM DECISION

1At the request of Employer Counsel, the Board issued a Summons dated June 24, 2019 ordering Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders or his designate to attend at a June 28, 2019 hearing in these matters, and to produce the records and materials described therein.

2The June 28, 2019 hearing was convened by teleconference. Employer Counsel participated in the teleconference while in attendance at the Board’s offices, and advised during the teleconference that a representative of Toronto Police Service attended at the Board in response to the Summons, and presented to the Board the documents and materials described in the Summons.

3After hearing and considering the submissions of Counsel, I order the Board to provide forthwith to Employer and Union Counsel copies of the documents and materials delivered to the Board by Toronto Police Service on June 28, 2019 in response to the Board’s June 24, 2019 Summons issued in these matters.

4The Union reserves all rights with respect to positions it may take during the reconvened proceedings regarding the documents and materials presented to the Board by Toronto Police Service.

5The hearing will continue as scheduled, and my jurisdiction in these matters is retained.
