The Ontario Human Rights Commission brought a preliminary motion to add the Ministry of Education and Training and Mr. André Lalonde as respondents to two human rights complaints regarding job competitions.
The complaints were originally filed against the Metropolitan Toronto School Board and the CEFCUT.
The Board of Inquiry dismissed the motion, finding it premature to add the Ministry or Mr. Lalonde in his personal capacity given the lack of evidence that Mr. Lalonde was acting as an employee of the Ministry rather than the school boards during his secondment, and considering the significant delay since the complaints were filed.
