I'd appreciate that. Thank you very much.
It certainly would be suspicious to have an individual who was a former employee being paid to be a witness at his own complaints, and then receiving such awards.
In your recent memo to Parliament last week, you claimed--as you did earlier today--that there is no hierarchy of rights, only a matrix of rights in which all rights are equally important. But our Charter of Rights and our Bill of Rights both list freedom of expression as a fundamental right, one that takes precedence over other values in society. Why does the CHRC not believe that freedom of expression is a fundamental right?
As a follow-up question, in the report you also indicate that freedom from hate is a priority that's given equality with freedom of speech. This concept of freedom from hate is in the title of the document. Could you tell me where in the charter or where in legal context in Canadian law this freedom from hate exists, or where it was first described or invented?
Those are my two questions.
