Government of Yukon - Premier Sandy Silver; Deputy Premier Ranj Pillai; Public Service Commissioner Thomas Ullyett - Systemic Corruption & Workplace Discrimination Exposed - Whitehorse Yukon
Report Attachments
The following recording of a Yukon Government Administrative Proceeding (i.e. an Appeal of a Deputy Minister's termination of a Yukon Government whistleblower of systemic workplace discrimination) is being published pursuant to the Open Court Principle as enunciated by the Supreme Court of Canada; S. 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; and for the purpose of exposing Yukon Government systemic corruption and workplace discrimination to the scrutiny of vigorous public debate.

The recording details evidence of Yukon Government senior bureaucrats conspiring to conceal systemic workplace discrimination, Deputy Minister Justin Ferbey's termination of a Yukon Government whistleblower, unlawful search of an employee's personal possessions without a warrant and the falsification of Yukon Government documents in an attempt to discredit the whistleblower and camouflage or 'pass-off' a 'termination' as a 'rejection on probation' in order to deny the whistleblower the right to a union grievance and arbitration before the Labour Relations Board.
Sadly, thanks to people like Deputy Minister Justin Ferbey, and the complicity/lack of leadership of Premier Sandy Silver, Deputy Premier Ranj Pillai and Public Service Commissioner Thomas Ullyett, systemic corruption and workplace discrimination are alive and well and stand to remain so for the foreseeable future in the Yukon Government.

Court-Ordered Emails Suggest YG Public Officials Conspired to Protect Management Instead of Investigating Systemic Workplace Discrimination - Hoping Fired Whistleblower Would Just 'Go Away'
#2Author of original report
Tue, April 17, 2018
Emails obtained pursuant to an Order issued by Justice Leigh Gower of the Supreme Court of Yukon suggest Government of Yukon Deputy Ministers Jim Connell and Justin Ferbey, Public Service Commissioner Thomas Ullyett, and Premier Sandy Silver's Chief of Staff, David Morrison conspired to summarily dismiss a Government of Yukon whistleblower of systemic workplace discrimination in a coordinated attempt to protect Management instead of investigating and rectifying systemic workplace discrimination as required by § 35 of the Human Rights Act (SY).

"I’d recommend that you have a conversation with Cheryl about how the RWO [Respectful Workplace Office] could help the branch in question. If there’s any truth to XXXXXX’s recordings, it appears to be a dysfunctional workplace. Justin doesn’t [view] XXXXXX [as] a security risk and does expect that he’ll leave Yukon as he has no strong ties here.", wrote Public Service Commissioner Thomas Ullyett after he approved the firing of a Government of Yukon employee who blew the whistle on systemic discrimination 5 days earlier.
Conspicuously absent from the flurry of emails exchanged among these YG public officials in the 5 days preceding the firing of the whistleblower is any discussion, surprise or condemnation of the systemic workplace discrimination reported, or what these public officials were doing or were willing to do to rectify the discrimination as required by law. For the record, 5 months after the discrimination was reported to Deputy Minister Justin Ferbey, Deputy Premier Ranj Pillai, and Public Service Commissioner Thomas Ullyett, the perpetrators of the discrimination are still employed by the Government of Yukon while the whistleblower was summarily terminated on November 8, 2017 for recording and reporting it.
"Given the nature of some of the issues has respectful workplace been involved or called in (thinking of the comments that were recorded attributed to supervisors not the individual employee)...", wrote Jim Connell, Deputy Minister, Executive Council Office 2 hours and 11 minutes after the employee was fired for blowing the whistle on systemic workplace discrimination. What Mr. Connell is saying here indicates that he is only concerned with how much dirt the whistleblower has on Management rather than the laws which were broken, or the welfare of the employee who was the victim/whistleblower of systemic workplace discrimination.
The emails serve as a damning indictment of Government of Yukon public officials' contempt for whistleblower protection legislation such as § 25 (b) of the Public Interest Disclosure of Wrongdoings Act (SY) and § 425.1(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada - both of which prohibit reprisals against whistleblowers in Canada.
Sadly, because of Government of Yukon public officials such as Jim Connell, Thomas Ullyett, Justin Ferbey, and David Morrison and complicit and/or incompetent politicians such as Ranj Pillai, systemic workplace discrimination and corruption are alive and well at the Government of Yukon and stand to continue to be so for the foreseeable future - that is, unless something is done to hold the responsible parties accountable.
