REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario, on June 20, 2007)

PELLETIER J.A.

[1]               We are of the view that the application for judicial review should be dismissed. The parties are agreed that the standard of review is patent unreasonableness.

 

[2]               In light of the record before it, the Public Service Labour Relations Board was entitled to come to the decision it did. We see no basis for our intervention in light of the very deferential standard of review.

 

[3]               The application for judicial review is dismissed with costs.
