Does a conversion of tenure from term to indeterminate constitute an appointment?

It is therefore clear that under subsection 59(2) of the PSEA, a conversion of tenure from term to indeterminate does not constitute an appointment. As a result, there is no right to make a complaint on this conversion under section 77 since this right of recourse requires that an appointment or proposed appointment be made. See Czarnecki v. Deputy Head of Service Canada et al., [2007] PSST 0001.
