Notes

Every time the OHRC Chief Commissioner changed, the entire commission would change its focus and apparently its understanding of issues. While it had understood disability and the right not to be subjected to a reverse onus under Catherine Frazee, once Mukherjee was Chief Commissioner, this understanding mysteriously vanished, to be replaced by a focus on racism. Concerning persons disabled by sensitivities, the OHRC became as abusive and arbitrary as the entities under its jurisdiction.

It should be mentioned that while Catherine Frazee had understood the persons with sensitivities right not to be subjected to arbitrary interference, staff at the Commission never fully separated the rights of persons with sensitivities from the legitimate but separate debate about the ideas of "doctors or environmental medicine."
