Whistleblower scientist not entitled to get job back, court rules
Dr. Shiv Chopra has lost his 13-year battle to regain the Health Canada job from which he was fired in 2004.
The ruling came from the Federal Court of Appeal on Wednesday.
Chopra called it a "travesty of justice."
Chopra was one of three Health Canada veterinary scientists who spoke out in the 1990s about pressure from their bosses to approve drugs despite concerns about human safety. He and his colleagues, Dr. Margaret Haydon and Dr. Gérard Lambert, were eventually fired in 2004 for insubordination.
