The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination by his former employer, a trucking company.
The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss on the basis that the employer appeared to be a federally-regulated undertaking.
The respondents confirmed they engage in interprovincial and international transportation, which the applicant did not dispute.
The Tribunal dismissed the application for lack of jurisdiction, as interprovincial transportation falls under exclusive federal jurisdiction.
The respondents' request for legal costs was also denied, as the Tribunal lacks the power to award costs.
