On September 5th, CIU received a letter from CBSA President Luc Portelance, in response to its request that the Agency rescind the disciplinary measures it imposed on three Border Services Officers from Emerson, Manitoba.
Mr. Portelance acknowledged the importance of the issue. He instructed Ms. Camille Therriault-Power, Vice-President of Human Resources, and Mr. Martin Bolduc, Vice-President of the Operations Branch to contact CIU National President Jean-Pierre Fortin in an effort to accelerate the grievance process and address CIU’s concerns regarding Section 129(b) of the Criminal Code.
