Q: It might have been attempted but not successful. A: It might have been attempted but it was not successful. Q: Not successful with you. I just want to further clarify now, the general manager as you stated is not generally involved in the selections. In your tenure have you ever had to refer any hiring matter to the GM for let’s say a line position, for an ultimate decision? A: Probably – – no, I wouldn’t – I am trying to recall. I would have probably asked him to support me in a decision that I would have made and I would have explained to him why I would have made that decision, but no, I would not have; the process is followed. Q: The last question I would put on that then: In your opinion would you say that if a general manager instructs HR to hire a particular candidate would you find that occurrence unusual? A: Yes. Let me just repeat what I heard you saying: If a general manager influences.... Q: ... or states to HR, I want this person hired, you would find such a situation unusual? A: Yes, yes – or a government official. Q: You would find it unusual . A: Yes, or asks me for my list of vacant roles, I would find that unusual. ” 5 (DI Emphasis) 5 Transcript of hearing held on September 5, 2018 involving Mrs. Roselee Scott-Heron. Pages 8-16.
