Decision
[1] This matter was originally set down for hearing on January 17, 2017. The
complainant, Mr. Lachance, was not present that day and I was advised that he was ill.
His application had been set down for hearing with three other applications. All four
applications raised the same issues and arose out of the same circumstances. The
evidence and submissions with respect to the three applications was heard on January
17, 2017 and a decision dismissing those applications issued on February 3, 2017.
[2] Paragraph 30 of that decision directed that it be provided to Mr. Lachance. The
decision further directed that Mr. Lachance would have 30 days from the date of the
decision to advise the Board in writing whether he sought any further opportunity to
have his matter heard. Absent such a request, the decision noted that his application
would also be dismissed.
[3] I subsequently learned that the Board had not forwarded a copy of the February
3, 2017 decision to Mr. Lachance. Therefore, on March 7, 2017 I directed the Board to
do so. That direction also provided:
[5] Further to paragraph 30 of the decision dated February 3, 2017, Mr.
Lachance will have 30 days from the date of this direction to indicate in
writing to the Board whether he seeks any further opportunity to have his matter
heard by the Board, and, if so, the basis for any such request. Absent any such
response, his complaint will be dismissed.
[4] I understand that the Board provided Mr. Lachance with its decision of March 7,
2017, as well as its February 3, 2017 decision. Thirty days from the date of the later
direction has passed. The Board has received nothing further from the complainant.
Having regard to the findings in the Board’s decision dated February 3, 2017 and in light
of no further response from the complainant, this application is hereby dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 18th day of April 2017.
Marilyn A. Nairn, Vice-Chair
