REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the bench at Montreal, Quebec, on December 7, 2017.)
BOIVIN J.A.
[1] Despite the able submissions of counsel for the appellant, given the procedural history of the appellant's complaints and the whole of the evidence on the record, we are satisfied that it was reasonable for the Commission to refuse, under paragraph 41(1)(d) of the Canadian Human Rights Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. H-6, to rule on the complaint of June 4, 2008.
[2] We are also of the opinion that the Commission did not violate the principles of procedural fairness in making its decision. The fact that it limited itself to the complaint as filed, or that it limited the number of pages that the appellant could file, does not contravene these principles. The appellant also had the opportunity to make submissions and to put forward his point of view before the Commission made its decision.
[3] For these reasons, the appeal will be dismissed with costs.
