Ken Harding says he is unfairly being kept from going to work because Transport Canada refuses to issue him a marine medical certificate.

Harding works as a cook on the Bell Island ferry service and is required to have such a certificate from Transport Canada to sail.
What gives them the right to keep me from going to work if I am able to work? … They are taking my job because I got cancer.

Harding said the reason he has been denied the certification is because he has been taking chemotherapy treatments to fight Stage 4 cancer, and he also takes medical marijuana on occasion.
