No proof Human Rights Commission accessed woman's Internet connection

A woman complained that the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) improperly collected and used her personal information by allegedly accessing her wireless Internet connection to post messages on a white supremacist website during an investigation. An Internet Service Provider, responding to a subpoena, linked an IP address associated with the alleged CHRC activity to the complainant. The OPC's investigation found no evidence that the CHRC collected, used, or disclosed any personal information about the complainant or was even aware of her prior to the tribunal hearing. Technological experts suggested the IP address association was a third-party mismatch. The complaint was found to be not well-founded.
