    Re-Entry after a 3(b)

    I was released on a 3b in 2005.  I did my best to fight the pending release while I was still in.  As my release date approached, I realized I only had one course of action left and it was to file a grievance.  So I was released, but the grievance finally came back in my favour (about 1.5 years...

    DND and Civilian Contracts: Conflict of Interest

    Most likely the company recieving the contracts have a standing offer agreement through PWGSC.  This would have gone through processes to ensure fairness and best value.
