Quebec’s labour tribunal has ordered a car dealership in south-central Quebec to rehire an employee it had fired after he was convicted of sexual assault.

Administrative Judge Annie Laprade said the business had failed to show that the employee’s crime was linked to his job or that the publicity surrounding the case would prevent him from carrying out his functions.
