Yes. I share the same concerns as Ezra. I happened to be reviewing a routine e-mail in the middle of the night, and I couldn't believe that the so-called Human Rights Tribunal had approved the so-called Human Rights Commission's wish to hold a trial in secret at which the accused--never mind not being able to confront his accuser in open court--would in fact be entirely excluded from the courtroom. Both of us were shocked when we discovered what was going on, and that is part of the reason we are here today.
I'm not going to let this go. I don't believe secret trials have any place in this country, except in the most extreme national security circumstances, and even then, that's debatable. But they certainly have no place over so-called hate speech or pre-crime. It's a disgrace; it shames this country, and you as the parliamentary oversight for the commission and the tribunal should do something about that.
