Mr. Chair, the March 25 statement issued by the agency misleads the public about their rights. A quasi-judicial body does not speak through public statements; it speaks through its decisions. The issuing of some general, broad policy guides, interpretation guides about new regulations may happen, but about a matter that is contested, a matter that is already before the body or very likely to come before the body in a very short time, is entirely unacceptable. I'm sure you realize that no court in Canada would speak through such public statements. Judges, decision-makers, people who act in a quasi-judicial capacity speak through their decisions.
On December 8th, 2020. See this statement in context.
