If someone other than the alleged victim files a complaint, the Commission may refuse to proceed without the victim’s consent. The Commission itself may lay a complaint or it may discontinue an investigation if it deems the complaint to be frivolous or if other alternative proceedings would be more appropriate. | Any individual or group may file a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
