Dingwall Wins Entitlement

Well I wonder if like the Liberals Day Care program Stephen Harper will overturn this decision too? Doubtful if he knows anything about employment law. But then again he's the boss so he can do what he likes.

During the election Mr. Dingwall was a subject raised by the Conservatives in their TV Ads.Conservative TV ad: "Entitlements"

MESSAGE: Prime Minister Paul Martin's comment that "the Liberal party is not corrupt" is played over and over again on a tape loop, as supposedly ordinary Canadians stare at their television screens with varying forms of disgust as they're reminded of the Gomery inquiry and David Dingwall's statement that he was entitled to his entitlements.

Dingwall paid $417K in compensation

Arbitrator found in former mint chief's favour in dispute over resignation

OTTAWA (CP) — In one of its last actions before transferring power, the Liberal government has agreed to pay David Dingwall $417,780 in compensation for his dismissal as head of the Royal Canadian Mint.

Privy Council Office announced the payment Saturday following the decision of an independent arbitrator, George Adams, who concluded that Dingwall had not resigned, as the government suggested at the time, but had been fired.

Dingwall left the $277,000-a-year-job in September after a prolonged controversy about his six-figure office expense account.

A subsequent review by PricewaterhouseCoopers accounting firm concluded Dingwall’s spending was within the rules with minor discrepancies.

William Stairs, Harper’s director of communications, said he did not think the new government would contest the arbitrator’s decision.

“I don’t think we can. It was a legal arbitration between two parties.”

Nope there is nothing you can do Mr. Dingwall is entitled to his entitlements.
