In fact, when a plaintiff exercises his right to a legal remedy, he usually bases his complaint on the investigation report, which constitutes a basic element of evidence if, of course, the report is favourable to the plaintiff and deems that his complaint is well-founded.
If the plaintiff wants to obtain more information from the file, he can turn to the commissioner's office to get them. Besides this, the legislation gives us the authority, in specific cases of legal remedy, to transmit information that we should normally not disclose.
Section 73 of the Official Languages Act allows us, when there is a legal remedy, to disclose this information.
