The Attorney General of Ontario requested to intervene in the human rights complaint and sought to bifurcate the hearing.
The Proposed Intervener suggested that the first stage address the location of the complainant's duties without its participation, and if the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) is engaged, it would participate in the second stage.
The complainant and the Commission consented to this approach.
The respondents consented to the intervention but argued the Proposed Intervener should participate throughout.
The Tribunal granted the request to intervene and bifurcate the hearing, allowing the Proposed Intervener to participate only in the second stage if the interaction between the OHSA and the Human Rights Code needs to be addressed.
