The territorial Public Service Commission said this morning it has no record of Farley Hayes ever being a Yukon government employee.

On Tuesday, after NDP MLA John Edzerza raised the subject in the legislature, Hayes told the media the government dismissed him in 2004 after he'd waited two years for a liver transplant.

Earlier, in the legislature, Edzerza had asked Glenn Hart, the minister responsible for the Public Service Commission, if he was aware of a government insurance policy that permitted the dismissal of an employee awaiting an organ transplant for longer than two years.

Hart said he was not aware of any such policy.

Hayes would not specify when or where he worked for the government when telling the media he was a former government employee.

This morning, a spokeswoman for the Public Service Commission told the Star there is no record of Hayes' employment with the government.
