Dear Ms. Stevens:
Re: Our
File No. ******
______Mr. Ioan Moraru___
Mr. Moraru has contacted this office with a concern
which seems to fall
within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Environment
& Energy.
I wish to inform you of this matter and of the
Ombudsman's intention to
investigate; it may expedite the investigation if your
Ministry is prepared to
give us its view. To allow you time to respond, we will
postpone our
investigation until April 26, 1996.
By way of background, Mr. Moraru was enrolled as a
student at Seneca
College in the Special Program entitled "Training
for Immigrant
Professionals". On May 31, 1995 he signed a
Placement Agreement with
the Ministry of Environment and Energy to work as a
Systems Support
Officer from May 29, 1995 to June 30, 1995. At the
completion of this
placement, he received a successful assessment notice
from his supervisor.
He claims that he then signed an agreement for a
permanent position
effective from July 10, 1995. This was to include an
8-week period
probation period. However, he was released from his job
on September 1,
1995 on the grounds that his employment has been
temporary. The
Ministry provided Mr. Moraru with a copy of a temporary
contract as
proof. However, he denies him this was the agreement that
he had signed.
As confirmation, Mr. Moraru points out that the space for
his signature is
blank on the temporary agreement.
