Dany Fortin must use the military’s internal grievance process to challenge the grounds for his removal earlier this year as the head of Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution campaign.Federal Court Justice Ann Marie McDonald issued the ruling on Tuesday, siding with federal government lawyers who had argued that Fortin’s application for a judicial review of his removal from the role should be struck down, and the military’s grievance process used by him instead.“It is clear that the issues raised in the application are service-related matters and the allegations of political interference are not ‘exceptional circumstances’ that would allow MGen Fortin to bypass the grievance process and seek a preliminary remedy in this Court,” McDonald.
