Integrity Commissioner Mario Dion has cited the former head of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal for gross mismanagement and harassment of her employees. (Canadian Press) The former head of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal abused and harassed her employees, a report to Parliament tabled today concludes.
Public Service Integrity Commissioner Mario Dion says Shirish Chotalia is guilty of gross mismanagement, improper behaviour, and making inappropriate remarks.
And Dion, whose role is to investigate public service workplace complaints, says Chotalia's behaviour had a serious impact on the health of workers.
The report from Dion's office found that Chotalia:
- Harassed and abused staff and appointed members of the CHRT through intimidating and aggressive behaviour and making inappropriate comments.
- Disregarded advice from her staff.
- Created a dysfunctional workplace for employees and members of the CHRT.
Dion, in a conference call Thursday, called Chotalia's behaviour "totally unacceptable" and said that in his nearly 2½ years on the job, he's never come across a worse case of behaviour towards employees that shows a "total lack of respect."
He said Chotalia created a "poisoned atmosphere" in the workplace, and that her manner towards not just her staff but to appointed members of the tribunal was often "belittling and humiliating."
Some of Chotalia's behaviour, described in the report, bordered on the bizarre.
She ordered an employee to wear a set of keys around his or her neck despite complaints it was too heavy. During an earthquake in Ottawa in June 2010, which shook buildings, she refused to allow employees to leave their offices, despite the fact that many buildings in downtown Ottawa were evacuated.
Dion called her behaviour "very strange." He added he has not been able to speak to Chotalia since the spring of 2012, but said that for privacy reasons he could not divulge the reason why she was unavailable.
Chotalia formally quit in November, four years before the end of her term. The Alberta lawyer was appointed to the post by the Conservative government in late 2009.
Ontario lawyer Susheel Gupta has been acting chair of the tribunal since August 2010. His term expires in August.
