Mr. Paul Belisle
Clerk of the Senate of Canada
Room 185S
The Senate of Canada
Parlement Hill
Ottawa K1A 0A4

Dear Mr. Belisle,

I was told in the Summer of '83 by an officer of the Senate who had, 
I understand, his Pd.D. from the University of Carleton, that if I did 
NOT start abusing the System - like everbody else - I would lose 
my job.

I refused to abuse the System and and consequently, received a 
6-month notice stating that the Senate of Canada was not going 
to renew my contract.

This, I found odd, as I had become a permanent employee when 
I went from Chief Page to Senate Night Messenger in 1979.

Being already a father of two children I hoped to resolve the pro-
blem in a letter to the Clerk of the Senate, Mr. Lussier. He refused 
to respond to my letter and grinned when he saw me.

I, therefore, went to the Public Service Alliance of Canada who 
hooked me up with Yolande Viau and, together, we got the Union,
PSAC, on Parliament Hill. However, the Public Service Alliance 
of Canada (PSAC) did nothing to save my job.

Yet in the following year, March 1984, I was the only one unem-
ployed who completed their weekend Union Stewart Course at 
their request for which I received $50 and a certificate.

Seeing that Revenu Canada emptied my back account insis-
ting that I owe them money when I don't, I strongly feel the way 
to settle this matter is for me to get $460,000 ($20,000 x 23 
years) in back pay to which I'm entitled to for wrongful dismis-
sal that caused my wife to divorce me.

Cordially yours,
