It would probably also be a very effective deterrent against using the human rights legislation at all, and I think that is just the problem with it. To say that there might be some remedy for costs isn't to say that the costs ought to follow the event, as is so often the case in court, and doesn't say that the complainant should necessarily be the party who is bearing them. I think these cases are much more complex than that.
I don't know whether you intended this, Mr. Hiebert, and if you didn't, just stop me, but when you talked about a “real court”, I became a bit uneasy. That is because real justice is dispensed by many different tribunals in our society, and there's no magic in wearing the legal kimona or lack of it in wearing ordinary business clothes.
