Thank you for the question.
You're quite right about the current human rights tribunals. We elaborate on this topic in the brief that we sent you. Their lack of resources and case backlogs are well documented. It's hard to see how adding the hate speech file to their workload without allocating significant resources will help them. From a strictly pragmatic perspective, this raises an issue.
We also have other concerns about asking these tribunals, which have highly specific and significant expertise in equality rights, to regulate hate speech and freedom of expression in Canada.
I have no particular comments regarding the second part of your question. If a new entity is set up to do this work or if new regulators are created, they must receive proper funding.
