The Commission promotes human rights, undertakes research, and offers public education and outreach. It also examines the human rights implications of policies, programs, and legislation to make recommendations if they are inconsistent with the human rights protections. Although the Commission does not have the power to file human rights complaints, it can intervene in complaints before the Human Rights Tribunal. See s 47.12 of the BC ''Human Rights Code'' for a full list of the Commissioner’s powers. | |||
