After more than a decade of a legal battle, a former public servant has won a settlement of $1.5 million from the federal government, according to a recent report.
The worker – Chris Hughes – worked for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) between 1995 and 2005.
The worker suffers from depression that he says was brought on after he blew the whistle on age discrimination at the CBSA and an illegal practice by a colleague at the CRA.
