How have courts interpreted the meaning of a public service agreement in the context of communications security legislation?

28 The only departure from this plain-meaning rule is set out in Public Service Alliance of Canada v. Communications Security Establishment, 2009 PSLRB 121, which states the following at paragraph 162: [162] … It is trite to state that in doing so I must apply the words chosen by the parties to the agreement or, as in the present case, included as a result of an arbitral award. In applying the arbitral award, I must give the words their ordinary meaning and must avoid looking beyond the words to search for the parties’ intent. Simply put, the parties’ rights or obligations flow from the text of the agreement, unless its ordinary meaning leads to an incongruity or a truly absurd result.
