Last spring I did a couple of
posts on the workflow at the Human Rights Commission. In the meantime, four others and I have a complaint wending its way to a Board of Inquiry. The Board Chair has been named and last week we had a conference call to settle on a date for a hearing. It will be in July. This is a disappointment, as our initial complaint was filed in July, 2016. So it will be 703 days from complaint to hearing
Expecting to learn how badly we have been treated, I looked at the 3 Board of Inquiry decisions made in 2017 relating to disability.

| Access | Yuille | 22-May-2015 | 10-Jan-2017 | 17-Mar-2017 | 599 | 66 | 665 |
| Employment | Wakeham | 1-Sep-2012 | 27-Jun-2016 | 9-Jun-2017 | 1395 | 347 | 1742 |
| Employment | Skinner | 30-Oct-2014 | 3-Oct-2016 | 30-Jan-2017 | 704 | 119 | 823 |
| | | | Average | 899 | 177 | 1077 |
As you can see, our 703 days to a hearing is a blink of an eye compared to the 900 day average. But my disappointment is not diminished. In all 3 of these cases the finding was for the complainant.
So the question is why it takes 900 days before you even get a hearing? I know cases differ, but really, 900 days?
Like the seige of Leningrad.
