Background: Dwight Creelman, an inmate, challenged the Correctional Service of Canada’s (CSC) policy change regarding the processing of Canada Pension Plan (CPP) cheques, alleging that the policy was arbitrary and discriminatory.

Issues: The main issues were whether the policy change was arbitrary or discriminatory, especially in how CPP cheques were processed compared to other types of income.

Findings:

• The Assistant Commissioner's decision was deemed reasonable.
• It was found that the policy change was consistent with CSC’s legislative and policy objectives, not arbitrary.
• The processing of CPP cheques, similar to other types of payments, was not discriminatory.

Outcome: The application for judicial review was dismissed without costs. The court upheld the Assistant Commissioner's decision, finding no arbitrariness or discrimination in the policy change.

No financial terms specified.
