The Privy Council Office (PCO) failed to look into the aliases that the new Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) head allegedly used to make controversial social media posts, according to a CBC report.
“An administrative oversight resulted in the aliases not being searched by PCO,” said a PCO spokesperson, talking about new CHRC chief commissioner Birju Dattani.
Dattani became the first Muslim and racialized person to be named as head of the CHRC when he was appointed chief commissioner in June. After his appointment, however, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) raised concerns.
