Decision
[1]Ms. Danielle Lafreniere filed a dispute with the Ministry alleging that she was improperly
surplussed following organizational changes. At the first day of hearing into this matter the
Association raised a request for the disclosure of various documents, many of which concerned
the re-organization of the work that led to the surplussing of Ms. Lafreniere. The Board was told
that two requests for disclosure had been sent to the Employer in letters dated March 26, 2010
and April 29, 2010. While some of the requested information has been provided, the Association
is now requesting that an order be issued compelling the Employer to provide the documents not
yet supplied.
[2]Generally speaking, the Employer did not take issue with the information requested. Mr.
Lau, for the Employer, suggested that at least one document was probably not arguably relevant
but agreed to provide it on a without prejudice basis.
[3]Mr. McDonald, for the Association, also requested a schedule be established for
providing the documents. Such a timetable would allow sufficient opportunity for discussion
between the parties in the event there are difficulties in this regard.
[4]At the hearing I ordered the Employer to provide the information requested in the two
letters sent by the Association.This decision confirms that order. A schedule was established
and I informed the parties that a conference call could be scheduled in the event it became
necessary before our next day of hearing.

Dated at Toronto this 7 day of December 2010.
