No. The ministry can still fill the position even if a person requests a review. However, the ministry is responsible for ensuring that if a reconsideration is directed and a different candidate is successful that there is another vacant position available.
A competition is not limited to one staffing review. Each review is considered on the basis of the grounds submitted. Should there be more than on review for the same competition each requestor will receive a final decision and report that specifically considers their grounds.
The Merit Commissioner must be impartial when conducting reviews and audits. The Merit Commissioner does not defend ministry actions and decisions, or advocate for employees.
