DANIAL MAEHARA, THOMAS MAHON , WILLIAM GERALD MARTIN, and MICHAL STEFAN WALNICKI Appellants and ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA Respondent REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT (Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa , Ontario, on May 3, 2011) SHARLOW J.A. [ 1 ] This is an appeal of the judgment of Justice Gauthier dated June 29, 2010 ( 2010 FC 708 ) dismissing the application of the appellants for judicial review of a decision of the Public Service Labour Relations Board ( 2009 PSLRB 86 ). The decision of the Board relates to two sets of grievances referred to adjudication pursuant to

section 92 of the Public Service Staff Relations Act , R.S. 1985, c. P- 35. The Board​s decision to dismiss the second set of grievances was the subject of the application for judicial view. [ 2 ] Applying the standard of reasonableness, we are unable to detect a reviewable error in the decision under appeal. Accordingly, despite the able submissions of counsel for the appellants, this appeal will be dismissed with costs. ​K. Sharlow​ J.A.
