The case involved a complaint against the Government of Canada for failing to provide adequate safety protection to Federal Park Wardens. The complaint had been made by the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) who stated that their employer (the Government of Canada) required Park Wardens to carry out law enforcement duties but did not provide them with the necessary equipment required to protect themselves, specifically a handgun.
