Liberals Unveil Plan to Eliminate B C Human Rights Commission
BC Liberals pushed through bills on labour law welfare cuts and criminal justice while planning to abolish the BC Human Rights Commission on the session's final day. Attorney General Geoff Plant announced the move and fired the commission's acting head Harinder Mihal, citing a need for a major overhaul of the process. The bill leaves BC without a rights commission, with a tribunal still in place and new independent legal aid to assist parties. Critics warn victims will lose support, as the commission budget was already trimmed and staff reduced. The legislature also delayed a Workers' Compensation Board appeal bill and addressed a leak by New Democrat MLA Jenny Kwan.
