Cbc News: Decision and Panel

cbc news: How Lyle Howe made race the centre of his disciplinary hearing Howe told CBC News he has mixed feelings about the panel's decision, according to CBC. I agree with some of the things that the panel said and I disagree with some of the things that the panel said, and I'm just going to need to digest it before I say anything further, Howe said in a phone interview hours after the 140-page decision was released. The decision, released late Monday afternoon, capped a hearing that took 60 days, spread over a year and a half. I'm really disappointed in Nova Scotia and part of that is identified or is acknowledged by the panel in terms of some of the issues that I was raising. He said the society's handling of his case breached his rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Howe, who is black, argued throughout the hearing that he was a victim of systemic racism and was often singled out for criticism because of his race. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
