1 Backgrounder Human Rights Claimants and Advocates Speak Out! In April of this year, the government of Ontario introduced legislation to reform Ontario's human rights complaints system. The system of complaints processing has been largely unchanged in more than 40 years. Recently, additional amendments were proposed that would further strengthen the human rights complaints system by guaranteeing legal supports for claimants, and providing for more robust Commission powers. Bill 107's introduction and its proposed amendments have generated intense debate. What is often lost in this debate is the real reason for reforming the system: the Commission's existing complaints system fails to meet the needs of people seeking human rights protection. Social justice and equity seeking groups applaud Bill 107 precisely because the bill would refocus the enforcement regime on the needs of victims of discrimination. Human rights advocates and community organizations that work directly on the front lines with victims of discrimination know that right now, 3 out of every 4 unsettled complaints will be rejected - behind closed doors - without a hearing. Bill 107 gives all claimants direct access to a public hearing, while allowing the Commission to focus on what it does best: policy development, public education, outreach, and systemic advocacy. Below are groups and individuals that are on record as supporting the right to direct access with adequate legal and other supports guaranteed by Bill 107. More materials including letters and submissions by many of these groups and individuals can be found on a new website at : The Honourable Claire L Heureux-Dube, Retired Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada Catherine Frazee, Professor of Distinction, School of Disability Studies, Ryerson University; Former Chief Commissioner, OHRC Raj Anand, Lawyer and former Chief Commissioner, OHRC Phyllis Gordon, Director ARCH Disability Law Centre Consuelo Rubio, Community Legal Worker, Centre for Spanish Speaking Peoples Carol Phillips, Assistant to President, Canadian Auto Workers Theresa Claxton, Chair, Ontario Association of Patient Councils
