The appellant, a civilian employee of the RCMP, brought a civil action against a co-worker, a supervisor, and the Attorney General of Canada, alleging harassment and failure to provide a safe working environment.
The motion judge dismissed the action against the supervisor and the Attorney General, finding the dispute was governed by the collective agreement and the Public Service Staff Relations Act.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, affirming that courts must defer to the statutory grievance procedure for matters involving employment relations and workplace safety.
