What is the impact of an employer's misrepresentation of injuries in a termination letter?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Ransome v. Deputy Head (Correctional Service of Canada), 2021 FPSLREB 138 (CanLII):

The grievor submitted that the exaggeration of the scope of the inmates’ injuries in the termination letter seriously undermined the employer’s decision to terminate his employment; see Toronto District School Board v. ETFO (2019), 301 L.A.C. (4th) 225. In its reply submissions, the employer stated that it did not mischaracterize the grievor’s misconduct. Any mischaracterization, which it denied, related to the consequences of his misconduct.
