Grant McLean explained

Grant McLean is a Senior Manager with the Government of Alberta. He is the former Mayor of the City of Airdrie and also a former Aide de Camp to the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta.^{[1] [2]} He is an Officer in the Order of Military Merit (Canada) and in 2005 was awarded the Alberta Centennial Medal.^[3]

Grant McLean took his employer, the Government of Alberta, to court for negligent misrepresentation in a matter relating to his pension. In 1982 he left the Canadian Army after 14 years of service to work in a senior management position with the Calgary Correctional Centre. He was assured in writing^[4] by the personnel manager who hired him that his military pension was transferable to the province of Alberta's pension plan.^[5] That turned out to be wrong. The case was mentioned in the proceedings of the Alberta Legislature.^{[6] [7]} The solicitor general's department did not comment on Grant McLean's claims.^[8]

Grant McLean won his case on 13 April 2009.^[9]
