Ms. Marie-Claude Landry at the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee

For the Canadian Human Rights Commission, I cannot tell you exactly how long it takes to process complaints. What is important to us is that sexual harassment and harassment complaints are given priority. We work on a case-by-case basis. There are certain mechanisms in the Canadian Human Rights Act. For instance, section 49 provides that, in some cases, we can refer a file directly to the tribunal when necessary and when the criteria have been met.
