"The point at which the employment relationship ruptures is the time when the
employee is most vulnerable and hence most in need of protection. In
recognition of this need, the law ought to encourage conduct that minimizes
the damage and dislocation (both economic and personal) that result from
dismissal. To ensure that employees receive adequate protection, employers
ought to be held to an obligation of good faith and fair dealing in the manner
of dismissal, breach of which will be compensated for by adding to the length
of the notice period. While the obligation of good faith and fair dealing is
incapable of precise definition, at a minimum in the course of dismissal employers
ought to be candid, reasonable, honest and forthright with their employees and
should refrain from engaging in conduct that is unfair or is in bad faith by
being, for example, untruthful, misleading or unduly insensitive."
Justice Iacobucci, for the majority of the Supreme Court of Canada,
in Wallace v. United Grain Growers,1997
