It's precisely because in part, when you say the ordinary Canadian need not fear, I think the commission should be looking seriously at amendments to the legislation so that, on the issue of hate complaints, an ordinary citizen would bring the complaint to the commission and the commission would investigate. But if the commission found grounds for an actual hearing on it before the tribunal, precisely because it's then of public interest, it should be the commission that is party to that complaint and not the alleged victim, because then we would be putting the entire burden on that individual.
