The applicant B sought judicial review of a decision by the CSC to transfer him involuntarily from a maximum-security institution in Quebec to another institution of the same security rating in Ontario. This inter-regional transfer was executed on the basis of allegations that B was a leader of a network of inmates involved in the trafficking in influence, narcotics and intimidation of peers within the penitentiary. There were also suspicions that B was involved in the assault of another inmate. The sole issue was whether B had been provided with sufficient disclosure. Nadon J. dismissed the application. The applicant had received the notice of recommendation along with an eight-page document entitled “Progress Summary.” That document briefly recounted B’s history in the penitentiary and set out the reasons why the CSC intended to transfer him. Among the information in the document were summaries of preventative security reports that dealt with the reasons that appeared in the notice of recommendation. The information provided to B was sufficient to comply with the rules of procedural fairness.
