It was just over a month ago when Ottawa announced the appointment of Birju Dattani as chief commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC).
The appointment came at a “pivotal time,” said the government, citing its commitment to protecting human rights and fighting racism, and Dattani “brings a wealth of both professional and personal lived experience to this role.”
Dattani has “dedicated his career to protecting and upholding the rights of Canadians,” said the government release, and has “established himself as an expert in human rights law and as a champion for equity, diversity and inclusion.”
