Shirish Chotalia: Privy Council cover-up

Perhaps unsurprisingly in an era in which political partisanship outweighs evidence, the Privy Council Office has refused to take action against incompetent bully Shirish Chotalia, current head of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal.

“We have thoroughly reviewed the information provided in the preliminary fact-finding report and have concluded the facts provided do not warrant further action,” said [a PCO] statement. “We will therefore not be following up with a further investigation.”

…Conservative appointee Chotalia has been at the centre of controversy since early 2011 when it was revealed that more than half her staff had either left the public or been sidelined by stress-related illness.

Two complaints of employee harassment have been upheld against Chotalia and two more complaints against her are pending. [emphasis added]

The Privy Council Office oversees Governor-in-Council appointees — people appointed to various agencies and boards by the federal government of the day.

The PCO is described in the linked article as “impartial,” one assumes in the Pickwickian sense.
