6/15/26, 10:18 AM Gmail - EMERGENCY REQUEST FOR INTERIM REMEDIES: Retaliatory Termination & Cessation of Family Benefits — Mark Hola... 1. M. Holand 06-12-2026.pdf (Termination Letter from Kevin Payne) 2. FOI_Release_2026-143_p9.jpg (Email Thread showing Payne as recipient) 3. FOI_Release_2026-143_p10.jpg (The "Sunny afternoon" / "Based on our submissions" email) lam meeting with legal counsel on Wednesday, but the protection of my family's health benefits cannot wait. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter. Sincerely, Mark Holand Employee ID: HOL12Dear Olivia Strazzeri, lam writing to request urgent regulatory intervention and immediate interim remedies regarding my active Prohibited Action Complaint under Section 47 of the Workers Compensation Act, File Number 2026D316. Today, June 12, 2026, my employer, British Columbia Rapid Transit Company (BCRTC), escalated their discriminatory actions to the maximum extent. | received formal notification from Kevin Payne, Director of Labour Relations, terminating my employment effective immediately. Crucially, BCRTC has canceled all of my medical, dental, and health benefits with immediate effect. lam requesting an immediate interim order from the Law and Policy Division to compel BCRTC to reinstate my health benefits package while this complaint is adjudicated. The sudden stripping of medical coverage inflicts immediate, severe hardship on my entire family, who rely on this plan for essential care. This is a transparent attempt to exert financial and psychological duress to force me to abandon my safety complaints. The Catalyst: A Targeted FOI Search In the attached termination letter, Mr. Payne attempts to frame my dismissal as an administrative response to a June 3 deadline. This is a complete fabrication. This termination is a direct, panicked retaliation triggered by a recent, targeted Freedom of Information (FOI) search | conducted. My FOI request successfully extracted internal communications that they were trying to suppress. The moment BCRTC realized my FOI dragnet had secured written proof of their collusion, Mr. Payne executed this termination to cut my access and punish my investigation. The Evidence of Bad Faith (Attached FOI Pages 9 & 10): The FOI release | recently secured reveals a March 18, 2026 email thread sent by Jason Mayo (Manager, Safety and Environmental Compliance) to BCRTC leadership—which explicitly includes Kevin Payne as a primary recipient. 1. Active Interference: In this email, Mayo cheerfully announces the success of management's active interference in my initial WorkSafeBC claim, stating: "/ hope this sunny afternoon finds you well... Based on our submissions, WorkSafeBC has decided not to accept Mark Holland’s claim as a workplace injury." This definitively proves that BCRTC management was making active, coordinated "submissions" to defeat my claim, contradicting any stance of administrative neutrality. 2. Knowledge of Suppressed Evidence: The bottom of that exact same email chain shows that Mr. Payne was concurrently receiving my formal notice regarding the "Staged Test Environment & Active Suppression of Evidence" concerning the compromised Arcose noise survey at OMC1. Kevin Payne is not an objective HR director enforcing attendance policies; the documents prove he was fully briefed on the rigged safety test, actively participated in the executive group that submitted information to ensure my claim was denied, and celebrated the result. He fired me today because my targeted FOI request caught him red-handed. Because this retaliatory termination has been executed by the very individuals implicated in my active Section 47 investigation, my family's security requires immediate regulatory protection. | ask that WorkSafeBC utilize its expedited oversight mechanisms to restore our health coverage immediately. | have attached the following critical evidence: 1.
