Thank you, Mr. Chair. We propose:
That Bill C-81, in Clause 103, be amended by adding after line 6 on page 56 the following: The review must be conducted by a different officer or employee than the one who made the decision under review. The complainant must be given the opportunity to make representations to the officer or employee conducting the review in a manner that is accessible to the complainant.
With this amendment we are asking to require that the person who reviews the decision not to investigate or to discontinue an investigation of a complaint is not the same person who had made the original decision. Part 6 must include a section that provides that complainants who request a review of the accessibility commissioner's decisions will have an opportunity to make submissions in a manner and form that is accessible to them.
