Deputy Commissioner, Operations, Canadian Coast Guard, Department of Fisheries and Oceans

I can tell you absolutely that Assistant Commissioner Vija Poruks was not fired. She is on leave. She has chosen to leave the coast guard after a long and illustrious service in the public service, many years with the coast guard. She was in absolutely no way fired.
