Disposition versions
165.17. If the facts supporting the complaint are referred to in section 45, 45.1 or 46, the Office shall either direct the complainant to the Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail and send the complaint to the latter or direct the complainant to the workers’ association representing him. With the complainant’s consent, the Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail shall send any complaint that concerns discriminatory conduct referred to in section 45.1 to the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse, under the terms of an agreement entered into by those organizations and approved by the Minister of Labour. The agreement shall also stipulate the terms of cooperation between those two organizations, in particular to ensure that the time required to send the complaint is not prejudicial to the complainant.
If the facts supporting the complaint concern a parliamentary institution, the Office shall send the complaint to the French Language Commissioner and notify the complainant.
In all other cases, the Office shall open a complaint record, notify the complainant of that fact and, at the complainant’s request, inform him of the processing of the complaint and, if applicable, of the measures it is taking to have the author of the failure to comply cease and not repeat the failure.
