Canadian Human Rights Tribunal Dismisses Pankiw

Former member of Parliament Jim Pankiw has been dismissed by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal for complaints that he distributed discriminatory political pamphlets directed toward Aboriginal people. In 2002 and 2003, Pankiw was MP for Saskatoon-Humbolt and during that period he distributed three brochures to constituents within his riding. The tribunal released a 13-page decision, dismissing the complaints because the householder brochures were not goods or services, notices, signs, symbols, emblems or other representations.
