Judge tells Quebec car dealership to rehire man fired for sexual assault conviction
February 6, 2025
Quebec’s labour tribunal has ordered a car dealership in south-central Quebec to rehire an employee it had fired after he was convicted of sexual assault.Administrative Judge Annie Laprade said the business had failed to show that the employee’s crime was linked to his job or that the publicity surrounding the case would prevent him from carrying out his functions.Martin Roussin Bizier was fired from a Ford dealership in Thetford Mines, Que., after he was convicted in January 2024 of sexually assaulting two women during his bachelor party in 2022.
