No, it's not Ouimet, it's not Rights and Democracy, and it's not Elliott. This is yet another person appointed by harper to pretend something is being done, but whose real job is to collect a substantial pay check while doing nothing on a serious case(except abuse staff) for TWO YEARS.
The embattled Canadian Human Rights Tribunal was publicly rebuked Monday for a two-year delay in dealing with a case involving the welfare of First Nations children.
oh...that explains some of it. First Nations case.
"It's not simply about money or financial damages," said lawyer Paul Champ, "it's about vulnerable children who are being denied the equal right to stay in their homes and communities. It's no exaggeration to say that more children are harmed every month that passes without this complaint being resolved." Champ said planned hearings at the tribunal were cancelled for no apparent reason. Langtry agreed with Champ that the delays are harming children.
Wait long enough, those kids will be all grown up, problem solved, right? If any of them suffer as a result, some future government can issue an apology, maybe erect a nice plaque, do a token native dance at some summit or international event we host, saying how we value the rich heritage of “our” First Nations.
According to the Public Service Alliance, five employees -roughly a quarter of the staff -have filed harassment-related complaints against tribunal chair Shirish Chotalia, the Calgary lawyer appointed in 2009 by the Harper government. More than half of the staff have left for other public service jobs or been sidelined by stress since she took over.
Harper sure can pick ‘em. And Canadians keep voting him back in.
