Description
Recently, some Canadians have been calling for the abolishment of human rights commissions ("Commissions"). Articles by David Warren, Rebecca Walberg, Ezra Levant, and even Rex Murphy have strongly criticized Commissions and some have called for their demise. A few others, such as Janet Keeping, Nigel Hanneford and Aaron Goldstein, have noted that moderation is needed and have recommended changes to human rights legislation, but not abolition. There are two sources of concern that have fueled this debate. First, there are provisions in some provincial and federal human rights codes that permit complaints based on discriminatory or hateful published statements, such as those that might be found in a newspaper editorial or letter to the editor. Second, over the years, there have been concerns about various aspects of the human rights complaint process. Neither of these concerns should result in the demise of Commissions. Although there may be legislative and procedural changes required to make Commissions work more efficiently, Commissions are definitely needed.
