Canada (Attorney General) v. Shakov

The appeal was allowed in part: the Federal Court’s judgment was varied and the matter remitted to the Public Service Commission for reconsideration because the PSC investigator made unreasonable factual findings and failed to address the key question whether, in the exigent circumstances, classifying the term supervisory position as English Essential constituted improper conduct under s.66 of the PSEA; the PSC’s retroactive revocation of Shakov’s term appointment was unreasonable and cannot stand.

  • Improper conduct under psea
  • Linguistic profiling of positions
  • Staffing and appointments
  • Remedies and revocation
  • Standard of review
