DECISION
Mr. Wayne Lintack is employed by the Ministry of
Natural Resources in the Huronia District in the posit~ion
-
of Deer Technician. The position specification for this
position is attached hereto as Appendix 1. Mr. Lintack's
position is currently classifÜ'!d as Resource Technician 3.
The class standard for Resource Technician 3 is attached
hereto as Appendix 2.
The issue before the Board is ~hether Mr. Lintack's
position is properly classified. The griever seeks
re-classification of his position to Rel~ource Technician 4
Conservation Officer. The class standard for Resource
Technician 4 - Conservation Officer is cittached hereto as
Appendix 3. In the alternative the griever seeks a ;OBerry
order," an order directing the Employer to properly
classify his position. It is the Employer's position that
Mr. Lintack's position is properly classified.
There was no real dispute with ,respect to the accuracy
of the job specification in terms of thl~ duties that it
describes. Howeve r , the Union's position was that the
duties and responsibilities of Mr. Lintack entail
enforcement duties that extend those contemplated by the
Resource Technician 3 class standard and that he perfonns
extension and public relations services that are not
contemplated by that classification. It was the Union's
,
..,
, ~\

further position that Mr. Lintack performs all of the core
duties of the Resource Technician 4 - Conservation Officer
I
classifi_cation. I
I
Mr. Lintack is the only Deer 'Technician in the Central
Region. In his position he reports to Mr. R. Toth, Fish and
, wildlife Management Officer, who in turn reports to Mr. D.
Mansell, District Manager. As his position specification
indicates, Mr. Lintack's duties entail the organization and
.
implementation of the deer management program, which
involves duties such as co-ordinating the c'ollection of
biological data, organizing controlled deer hunts,
~plementing surveys and preparing reports and technical
data in relation to deer management. These surveys and
reports deal with matters such as deer population and fawn
mortality. According to Mr. Lintackts evidence, this work
involves about 50% of his time. It is the position of the
Union that the Resource Technician 3 class standard. does
not contemplate the degree of program planning and co-
ordination of field work carried out by Mr. Lintack.
Mr. Lintack conducts investigations and inspections
,
with respect ,to matters relating to deer population, such
as road kills. He carries out autopsies to determine the
cause of death in the event of suspicious circumstances.
He also deals with matters such as injured deer, deer in
or-
(
,
3
urban areas, deer causing damage to crCips, and dogs who are
chasing deer. He is equipped 1;V'Ìth a semi-automatic rifle
which is to be used for shooting a dog, if necessary, and
for killing injured deer. 'He is also equipped with a
shotgun, which is used when it would be unsafe to operate
the semi-automatic rifle. As ...,ell, he is equipped with a
22 calibre rifle which is used to shoot porcupines and
racoons as necessary for resource management purposes.
The extension and public relation activities performed
by Mr. Lintack involve attending seminars, conferences and
workshops dealing with deer habitat and population
management. Mr. Lintack gives presentations to Ministry
staff, the general public and particular interest groups in
relation to deer management. Mr. Lintack stated that the
purpose of his presentations to the general public was to
foster an understanding on the part· of 'the public with
respect to the resource management regulations in the hopes
that such knowledge would result in adherence to the
regulations. Mr. Lintack also provides information to the
Ontario Municipal Board in connection with matters such as
the effect of proposed development on d.<!er habitat. Mr.
Lintack testified that this work involvl:!s approximately 13%
.
of his time.
As previously noted, it is the UnÍ<:m' s position that

. ,
Mr. Lintack carries out enforcement duties beyond those
contemplated by his position specification, which refers to
"assisting Conservation officers during peak work load of
illegal fall deer hunting and spring fish run" as 5% of his
du ties. Mr. Lintack testified he is involved in what he
described as tldirect enforcement duties" approximately 37%
of his time. These duties include the observation of
something that causes suspicion, I
such as evidence of
hun ters, which will ,cause him to investigate ,the matter
I
further, while he is in the course of other duties, such as \
gathering technical data. He may issue a warning or, if
the circumstances indicate, he will refer the matter to a
Conservation Officer., The Conservation Officer will decide
whether or not charges will be laid. Mr. Lintack may be
called upon to give evidence in court.
Mr. Lintack is appointed as a Deputy Conservation
Officer under the Game and Fish Act and is designated a
provincial offences officer under that act, the Endangered
Species Act, the Public Lands Act, and the Trespass to
Property Act~ The Game and Fish Act extends to officers
under that Act powers of arrest of persons found committing
an offence, powers of search and powers to enter private
property. Officers are defined under that Act as including
Deputy Conservation Officers.. During the fall deer hunting
season Mr. Lintack is assigned to work with one of the
..-
I
t
5
eight Conservation Officers who is assigned to a particular
geographical area of the region. Suchan assignment 1:akes
place approximately twelve days per year. The person with
whom he is assigned is appoint'ed as a Conservation Officer
under the Game and Fish Act. Those persons are designated
as provincial offences officers under the statutes referred
to above, as we 11 as under a nlJmber of other 5 tatutes. A
Ministry directive states that: "All Deputy Conservation
Officers will receive direction for law enforcement duties
from a person appointed as a Conservation Officer". The
directive goes onto state that: "Deputy Conservation
Officers are not [emphasis in the original] to be
considered substitute Conservation Officers".
Mr. Lintack testified that when he is assigned to work
with a Conservation Officer during a peak enforcement
period they work together as a team. They are stationed in
an area where they suspect that ill~gal deer hunting may
take place, or they may check for licences at the
commencement of fishing season. Mr. Lintack stated that it
is not uncommon to encounter persons wh() are impaired by
alcohol and who have criminal records. Mr. Lintack stated
that he carries out the same duties as t:he Conservation
Officer in such circumstances, except that the Conservation
Officer is responsible for laying any charges and
completing any paperwork in connection \l7i th the laying of
, ~ ~ -
-:-'\ i..~ ~ 1:"'\ '}' ;,' \, ',:'
\ !F ..
j

. 6
charge s. Mr. Lintack testified that he and the
Conservation Officer would discuss the laying of charges
but he acknowledged that the ultimate laying of the charge
was the responsibility of the Conservation Officer. Mr.
Lintack has been provided with some training in connection
with matter,s such as powers of search and seizure, self
defence techniques and legal issues. However, he has not
received all of the training that the Conservation Officers
receive. Mr. Lintack is equipped with a Deputy
Conservation Officer uniform, handcu ffs, a baton and a red
flashing light for use on his Ministry vehicle. He is not
issued with a sidearm as the Conservation Officers are.
It was acknowledged 'by the Union that Mr. Lintack does
not carry out certain duties referred to in the Resource
Technician 4 - Conservation Officer class standard.
Specifically, Mr. Lintack does not formally lay charges, he
does not inspect commercial records, he does not conduct
examinations of hunters for licences and he does not
prosecute cases. The Union called evidence from Mr. M.
Townes who is employed by the Ministry of Natural Resources
in the Huronia region. His position title is Conservation
Officer/Fish and Wildlife Extension Technician. Mr.
.
Town es I supervisor is Mr. R. Toth. Mr~ Townes I position is
classified as Resource Technician 4 - Conservation
Officer. The Union called evidence with respect to his
.~
,
7 .
duties in order to establish that the duties of the
Resource. Technician 4 - Conservation Officer that Mr.
Lintack does not perform are not performed by Mr. Townes
either. It was the union's pos.ition that this evidence
established that those duties are not core duties of the
Resource Technician 4 - Conserv'ation Officer position. Mr.
Townes testified that he spends approximately half his time
in the office, performing work such as correspondence,
answering telephone enquiries, dealing ,á th nuisance
animals and attending to other administrative matters. He
spends 8 to 10% of his time car.ring out enforcement duties
in the field. The remaining approximat.Ûy 40% of his time
is spent earring out site inspection for dredging and
filling and providing advice to land OWllers with respect to
matters such as wildlife habitat protection. As well, he
is involved in providing seminars.
Mr. Townes testified that his enforcement duties
,
consist of attending with another officE~r when he is
requested to do so. He also attends on routine patrols
with another Conservation Officer or Deputy Conservation
Officer. He stated that "he had laid charges while on
routine patrols but that it has occured rarely in the last
.
few years n . Mr. Townes stated that he i.s assigned to
investigate matters on his own "when no one else is
available" . He stated that if he is alone and comes across
---:,'w~

a matter that requires the laying of charges he may lay the I
charge and carry out the seizures. He may also investigate
the matter and not lay the charge, but, rather, refer the,
matter directly to the Conservation Officer whose area it
is to lay the charge. Mr. Townes estimated that he has
laid only three to five charges in the last ten years. Io1r.
Townes stated that he has been involved in arresting people
five or six times in the last thirty years but that he has
,
not done so in the last several years. He stated that
Conservation officers are seldom required to make arrests.
Mr. Townes has had occasion to prosecute charges before a
Justice of the Peace in the past but that he has not done
so in the last ten years. Mr. Townes has alsò inspected
commercial records, however he has not carried this out for
some time. Mr. Townes carries a sidearm. However, he
stated that he has never used it except for target
practice.
In support of the position that the enforcement duties
performed by Mr. Lintack are not contemplated by the
Resource Technician 3 class standard, Mr. Healy referred to
the fact that the Resource Technician 3 class standard does
not refe~ to appointment under particular pieces of
legislation. He contrasted that with the Resource
.
Technician 4-Conservation Officer class standard which does
refer to particular pieces of legislation. It was
~
!
9
submitted that the Resource Technician 3 class standard
would hqve included such a refl:!rence if it had been
intended that the enforcement duties of persons in that
classification were to be covered. It was further
submitted that the enforcement duties referred to in the
Resource Technician 3 class st,andard simply do not
contemplate the extent of the duties pe!rforrned by Mr.
Lintack. In particular, it was submitt,ed that the class
standard does not contemplate work such as investigating
offences, participating in arrests, search and seizure, and
other "police" types of duties. It.was submitted that the
particular context in which these duties are carried out,
in dealing with persons who are armed, and often
intoxicated, there was a significant element of danger that
was not contemplated by the class standard. In Mr. Healy·s
submission, the reference to "enforcement II in the Resource
Technician 3 class standard must take meaning from its
context. Mr. Healy acknowledged that in a broad sense all
resource management work can be characterized as
enforcement work. He submitted, hCJ\tfeve r, that the class
standard contemplates primarily technical work such as
gathering and collecting data and in this context, it
should not be concluded that the class standard
contemplates the direct law enforcement type of work
carried out by Mr. Lintack. .
-"\
"\

~
In his submissions, Mr. Christen emphasized the fact
that there is a specific reference to enforcement duties in
the Resoµrce Technician 3 class standard. Mr. Christen
.
also emphasized the fact that the Resource Technician 4-
Conservation Officer claS5'standard referrs to "significant
enforcement of natural resources related legislation". It I
was his submission that ,enforcement is the hallmark of the
Resource Technician 4-Conservation Officer class standard
and that à further hallmark of that class standard is the
appointment of a Conservation Officer pursuant to the Game
and Fish Act. Mr. Christen argued that this was not merely
a matter of form, as the appointment of a Conservation
Officer involves significant duties and responsibilities.
As in many of these cases, the Board was extremely
impressed with the skill and dedication of the grievor' in
the performance-of his duties. However, the issue is not
the level of his performance, but rather, wheth~r the
duties of his position fit within the Resource Technician 3
c~ass standard in which he is currently classified. As is
noted in many decisions of this Board, the class standard
is not intended to be a job description, but, rather, ~s
, intended to generally capture the nature of the duties of a
position.
It is important to examine the issue of whether Mr.
-
l-
11
Lintack I s position is properly classifÜ~d in the contl~xt of
the class series. We note that the preamble to the
Resource~Technician series states: UPositions will be
allocated to a specific level in this class series only
when all [emphasis in the original] the requirements of
that level have been fulfilled."
We will first deal with thE! Union I s submission that the
Resource Technician 3 class standard does not contemplate
the degree of program planning and co-ordination of field
work that is carried out by the grievor., We cannot agree
with this submission. The Resource Technician 3 class
standard refers to llmore complex, demanding and responsible
technical duties containing considerable latitude for
decision making ...11. An example of thE! kind of work
performed by positions in this class'ification is
IIgathering, assembling and compiling technical or
scientific data, preparing technical re:¡;:orts and/or plans II.
The Resource Technician 3 class standard also refers to the
organization and scheduling of the work of other employees.
In our view, the Resource Technician 3 class standard
clearly contemplates the program planning and co-
ordination of field work carried out; by Mr. Lintack.
.
We turn next to the issue of Mr. Lintack's extension
work. While the Resource Technician 3 class standard does
.
~
\'
. 12
not refer specifically to:the extension and education work
that is done by Mr. Lintack, it is our view that some of
it, in particular the provision of technical expertise
concerning deer management and all the liason work in
,
connection with deer management, reasonably falls within
the reference to "preparing technical rep::>rts and/or plansll
or "assessing technical needs of management or scientific
projects and submitting technical recommendations II. The
work he performs in presenting seminars for outside groups
reasonably falls within the ambit of enforcement work that
is specifically referred to in the Resource Technician 3
class standard. In our view, the internal in-service that
Mr. Lintack provides with respect to deer management issues
is encompassed within the second paragraph of the Resource
Technician 3 class standard where it indicates that he may
train regular employees.
We turn now to the ,issue of whether the direct law
enforcement duties carried out by Mr. Lintack fall outside
the duties contemplated by the Resource Technician class
standard. After a careful review of the evidence and the
submissions of counsel it is our conclusion that we must
reject the Union' s submission in this regard..
We cannot agree with Mr. Healy's submission that the
duties performed by Mr. Lintack are not contemplated by the
_.
l
13
Resource Technician 3 class standard because it does not
refer to appointment under part.icular pieces of
legislation. Class standards are intended to be general
descriptions of duties. While the Resource Techniciall 4 -
Conservation Officer class'standard does refer specifically
to particular pieces of legislation, th,!:! lack of such a
reference in the Resource Technician 3 class standard does
not lead us to conclude that the enforclement duties carried
out by Mr. Lintack are not con1:emplated by that class
standard.
As well, we cannot agree with Mr. HE~aly' s submission
that the nature of the enforcement dutÌE~s carried out by
Mr. Lintacl< go beyond those contemplated by the class
standard. We agree with Mr. Christen I s submission that
some significance must be attached to the fact that the
Resource Technician 3 class standard specifically refers to
enforcement work. In the context of. thE! class standard it
is our view that the reference to enforc:ement contemplates
enforcement duties both in the broad sense of providing
educational information to promote compliance and the more
direct sense of law enforcement. As pre!viously noted, it
wa s Mr. Healy·s submission that the one reference to
enforcement in the Resource Technician 3 class standard
does not contemplate the full nature of the enforcement
duties that Mr. Lintack is engaged in, including matters
"
...."1
...
"
14
,
such as arrest and seizure. This type of argument was
accepted by this Board in Ministry of Natural Resources &
OP5EU (Anderson et al), (Roberts) , 497/85, where it was
concluded that Conservation Officers were not properly I
classified as Resource Technician 3, notwithstanding the
specific reference to enforcement work, because of the fact I
that virtually all of the work the Conservation Officers
performed was enforcement work. At pp. 6-7 of that
decision the Board comments as follows:
In an able argument, counsel for the Ministry
submdtted that the Board should not become
involved in measuring matters of degree- -
or, as counsel put it - - attempting to
determine whether a difference in quantity
became equivalent to a difference in quality.
t¡, So long as the Class Standard contained words
which described the work being performed by
the grievors, he submitted, they should be I
found to be properly classified therein. It
was not necessary, he submitted, for the
Ministry, to show that the grievor performed
all or some percentage of the duties
described in the Class Standard.
Try as the Board might, however t it does not seem
possible to avoid being drawn into a quantitative
assessment in the circumstances of the
present case. These circumstances represent
an extreme. Generally, the proposition put
forward by counsel for the Ministry seems
acceptable; an employee may be properly
classified even though he or she does not
perform all or a majority of the duties
described in the Class Standard. We accept
that Class Standards must, by nature, be
general in scope, and there will be
significant variations in the concentration
of duties of empl9yees who are classified
thereunder.
...
l-
IS
But here, virtually the only duties that the
grievors perform - - enforcement work - - are
given little significance in the description of
the Class Standard. They are overwhelmed by
technical and management: duties. We believe that
in a non-atypical classification such as the one
at hand. the Class Standard must contain a more
significant reference to the work being done
before it can be said to embrace virtually the I
totality of a job. Accordingly, it is the
conclusion of the Board that, the grievors are
improperly classified in the classification of
Resource Technician 3.
The facts of the case at hand are ç'learly unlike the
facts of the case before the Board that resulted in the
Anderson decision. In that case the Board noted that
virtually the only duties engaged in by the grievors were
enforcement duties. That is not the case here. A
significant portion of Mr. Lintack I s dut.ies involve the
technical work that is specifically referred to in the
Resource Technician 3 class standard. 1\s previously noted,
the work that Mr. Lintack performs in the course of his
extension work duties may generally ,be characterized as
enforcement. There is also an enforcemEmt aspect to his
technical duties relating to deer managE!ment. As well, Mr.
Lintack is involved in direct law enforcement activities
during peak periods and when he comes across an incident in
the course of his other duties. Howeve r, given the amount
of time he is involved in those enforcement activities and
his limited role in those activities, in relation to the
...~! 1
'"
"
. .
I..,
16
Conservation Officer, as prescribed by the directives
referred to above, we cannot conclude that enforcement
activities are "virtually the totality" of the jOb, as the
Board found in the Anderson case.
We now turn to Mr. Townes' evidence and the position
of the Union that his evidence' supports the conclusion ~hat
the enforcement duties that Mr. Lintack does not perform
are not core duties of that position~ We cannot agree with
the Union's position in this regard. Mr. Lintack does not
have the responsibility of laying charges. In our view the
laying of charges is cleariy a significant responsiblility
in terms of enforcement duties. While Mr. Townes' evidence
was that he is not engaged in laying charges frequently, it
is clear from his evidence'that this matter falls within
his responsibilities. He may be called upon to perform
these duties and has done so in the past. We cannot accept
Mr. Healy's submission that this evidence establishes that
the laying of ,charges is not a core duty of the Resource
Technician 4 - Conservation Officer class standard. On
this basis alone we are compelled to reject Mr. Healy's
submission with respect to the effect to be given to Mr.
Townes' evidence.
It is our conclusion that the duties of Mr. Lintack' s
position are duties that a!e reasonably contemplated by the
...
I
17
.
Resource Technician 3 class standard and, accordingly, that
Mr. Lintack's position falls wi.thin this classification.
Therefore, the grievance is hereby dismissed.

Decision 892/90 OP~EU (Lintack) and Min~stry of Natural Resources
DISSENT OF UNION NOMINEE
With respect to the conclusions reached by the majority,
-
I find I must dissent from their decision.
I do not agree that the Resource Technician 3 class
standard properly reflects the duties performed by the grievor.
I believe that the core duties the grievor performs with
respect to enforcement and his responsibilities as an appointed I
Deputy Conservation Officer are not covered by the RT3 class I
standard and are sufficiently important and of such a magnitude I
to result in taking him out of this RT3 classification. I
It is instructive to review the evidence regarding the
grievor's enforcement duties.
He is appointed a Deputy Conservation Officer under the -
Game and Fish Act and is designated a provincial Enforcement
Officer under that Act, the Endangered Species Act, The Public
Lands Act and the Trespass to Property Act.
He' has powers of arrest of persons committing offences under
the Game and Fish Act, powers of search and powers to enter private
property.
He is assigned a Dca uniform, handcuffs and baton, and a
flashing light for his Ministry vehicle.
He investigates offences, participates in arrests, search and
seizure and prepares reports for court.
He has received approximately six weeks of enforcement train-
ing at the Police College in Aylmer and has received other train-
ing on the Charter 6f Rights, the Young Offenders Act and in baton
and handcuff techniques.
His enforcement duties are not minor, passive enforcements
but are police type enforcement of serióus and dangerous offences.
He carries out these police-type enforcement duties in two
ways: .
1. When he is assigned to work as a partner with a Conserva-
tion Officer during the peak enforcement periOdS such as
during fish runs ör during the hunting season.
The grievor stated that he spends an average of 12 days
~.
- 2 -.
a year on such assignments and Mr. r'
Tim Boyd, the
Enforcement Coordinator for the Huronia District, agreed
with this figure. This equates to 5.6% of the grievor's
annual work time.
2. During his routine patrols.
-
The evidence was that during these routine patrols, the
grievor is regularly performing enforcement duties.
These include, among other things, checking on hunters
and their vehicles, out of season hunting, night hunting
and dogs running deer. At least 10 court charges have
resulted from these enforcement activities.
The grievor's evidence was that:he spends an average of
one day a week or 43 days annually on this routine patrol
and enforcement.
Mr. Tim Boyd testified that he had not assigned these
enforcement duties to the grievor and was not aware these
duties extended to 43 days annually" However, Mr. Boyd
was not the grievor's direct supervisor and does not,
regularly assign work to the grievor. In cross-examination,
he testified that he really only knows what the grievor
actually does when he is assigned to pair up with ,a CO
during the ,12 peak enforcement days. He is not aware
and can't assess what the grievor, actually does on his
patrols. From the evidence, we surely must accept that
these patrols and enforcement duties are authorized and
are a regular part of his job. These 43 days equate to
20.1% of the grievor's annual work time.
Thus, the evidence shows that the grievor spends a total of
55 days annually on enforcement, involving serious offenses. This
equates to 25.7% of his annual work time.
These enforcement duties are a significant core duty of the
grievor's job, þoth qu~lit~tively and_quanti~~tively, and in my
opinion their extent is not contemplated by the RT3 class standard.
I would have granted a Berry type order requiring the employer
to reclassify the grievor to a suitable classification.
