The respondents requested the dismissal of a human rights application under section 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing that an internal Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Prevention Policy (WDHP) investigation appropriately dealt with the substance of the application.
The Tribunal denied the request, finding that an internal investigation does not constitute a 'proceeding' within the meaning of section 45.1.
The Tribunal also scheduled a conference call to address a separate request to dismiss parts of the application for delay under section 34 of the Code.
