I know the question was for Delgar, but I will throw in my two cents.

The Human Rights Tribunal is tasked with upholding the Canadian human rights act and has wide jurisdiction, beyond the traditional court system. In this case I believe no real civil "law" has been breached. But the Tribunal has a lower threshold.
