A very short post today. The Ministry of the Attorney General has released Andrew Pinto's Report on the Ontario Human Rights Review 2012. There's a lot to wade through in it and I'll probably run an interview with an expert in the field of human rights about the findings in the next month or so. One area that I will highlight are the recommendations regarding the Human Rights Commission, it appears a lot of internal problems exist (for one, they don't have a phone number, seriously) and many recommendations regarding said problems are contained in the report. Here's a video of Osgoode Hall law professor Faisal Bhabha discussing Ontario's human rights system:

It appears that Ontario's Human Rights Commission may have re-entered the 20th century by acquiring a telephone number. Hurray! I tried calling the number, but was unable to ascertain if you can actually get a live person on the phone or leave a message. If you have any concerns regarding systemic human rights violations then make like Carly Rae Jepsun and call them maybe (hopefully you get through).
