Previously, in the aviation sector, there was no administrative tribunal with the mandate to review ministerial decisions to refuse or cancel an existing security clearance. The Marine Transportation Security Regulations include a reconsideration process for security clearances for marine workers, which is the Office of Reconsideration. This office.. is currently being established in Ottawa. An applicant whose security clearance has been refused or cancelled may apply to this office, which will arrange for an independent assessment of the case and make a recommendation to the Minister. 1, record 3, English, - Office%20of%20Reconsideration

Auparavant, dans le secteur de l'aviation, il n'existait aucun tribunal administratif ayant le mandat de réexaminer les décisions ministérielles, dont celles portant sur le refus ou l'annulation d'une habilitation de sécurité. Le Règlement sur la sûreté du transport maritime comprend un processus de réexamen des habilitations de sécurité des travailleurs du secteur maritime par le Bureau de réexamen. [...] Dans l'intervalle, le Bureau de réexamen (BR) présentement mis en place à Ottawa constitue une solution à court terme relativement au processus de réexamen. Un demandeur qui s'est vu refuser ou annuler une habilitation de sécurité peut soumettre une demande à ce bureau, qui veillera à ce que ce cas fasse l'objet d'une évaluation indépendante et qui formulera une recommandation au Ministre. 1, record 3, French, - Bureau%20de%20r%C3%A9examen

One specializing in the recruitment and selection of middle and senior executives on behalf of client companies. These consultants are normally expert in selection techniques, including psychological testing and interviewing and assessment procedures. They usually handle recruitment advertising as an integral part of their recruitment and selection service. Often, they act as a kind of broker between applicant and prospective employer, sometimes undertaking not to divulge the applicant's name and identity to the prospective employer until and unless the applicant gives permission. In the case of vacancies for very senior appointments, a selection consultant may act as a so-called head-hunter or executive search consultant, seeking out suitable people in other firms rather than advertising for applicants in the conventional way. Selection consultants are usually independent organizations or individuals, or they may be Government sponsored bodies such as the Professional and Executive Recruitment service(PER) in the UK. A distinction should normally be made between selection consultants and employment agencies, these latter organizations being largely concerned with introducing office staff and unskilled or semi-skilled manual staff to prospective employers. 1, record 8, English, - selection%20consultant
