A Federal Court judge has struck down Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin’s request for reinstatement as the head of Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution campaign after he was abruptly removed from the high-profile position in May.
In rendering her decision, Justice Ann Marie McDonald sided with the government’s view that if Fortin was unhappy with the decision, he should have filed a formal complaint through the military’s grievance system before resorting to the courts.
“In sum, Maj.-Gen. Fortin has not demonstrated that the decision to remove him from his (Public Health Agency of Canada) position cannot be redressed through the CAF grievance process,” McDonald wrote in the decision released Tuesday.
