There’s more legal wrangling in the Mark Lemire case before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. Lemire’s lawyer is now demanding that investigators for the Canadian Human Rights Commission fully disclose all of the aliases they have used in the course of their investigations. Barbara Kulaszka also wants another chance to cross-examine those investigators on that evidence. As part of her rationale, she writes that Commission lawyer Margot Blight told the Tribunal last month that “it had been the Commission’s policy up until the Federal Court decision in Lemire in January of this year, not to disclose to any respondent in a Section 13 case that the Commission investigators were communicating under false names with respondents via emails and/or were signing up accounts under false names on their own message boards or message boards such as Stormfront… This admission by the Commission shows that not one respondent in a section 13 case obtained full disclosure from the Commission and that matters going directly to the merits of these cases were hidden from respondents and the Tribunals hearing their cases. This admission brings into question the legality of each and every Section 13 case decided by the Tribunal.”
