Mr. Martin and his union, the Public Service Alliance of Canada, have waged a five-year campaign asking Parks Canada to allow wardens to carry guns. Last week, he won a major victory when the Federal Court of Appeal overturned two key rulings that sided with the department. The court accepted many of Mr. Martin's arguments and ordered federal health and safety officials to re-examine the issue.
