Rights Commission: Hearings and Parti Quebecois

rights commission: The hearings are being overseen by the Quebec Human Rights Commission which is having its own problems as former employees complain about its president, Tamara Thermitus, according to CTV. The Commission will be holding its hearings behind closed doors so that those testifying will be able to maintain some privacy as they share their personal stories. The Parti Quebecois and Coalition Avenir Quebec want the hearings cancelled, with the PQ introducing a motion to that effect on Wednesday. Immigration Minister Kathleen Weil has defended that decision and on Wednesday said, once again, that the hearings will continue no matter what. You can talk to your neighbours, friends, colleagues. It's an absolutely necessary exercise. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
