Concerns Regarding Recent Appointments to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission

To the Members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission, RCMP, and the Law Society of Saskatchewan,

Please note that the official complaint documents are attached to this letter.

I am writing to voice serious concerns about the recent appointments to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission. The backgrounds of these appointees, with potential conflicts of interest, cast doubt on the Commission’s capacity for impartiality and independence.

1. Treena Sikora: Beyond being employed by a law firm supporting the Saskatchewan Party, Sikora co-owns Saskatoon Medal with a spouse who is a donor to the Saskatchewan Party. This dual connection significantly undermines confidence in Sikora’s impartiality in human rights matters.

2. Rish Malhotra: As CEO of a company donating to the Saskatchewan Party, Malhotra’s appointment presents a direct conflict of interest, threatening the Commission’s integrity.

3. Darlene Cooper: Cooper’s role with Express Employment Professionals, a Saskatchewan Party donor, raises potential biases in Commission decisions.

4. Melissa Ong: Ong’s involvement with an organization that receives government funding could compromise the necessary detachment from government influences.

5. Mubarik Syed: Previous work with the Saskatchewan Police Commission suggests potential biases in Syed’s approach to human rights issues.

6. Alan Thomarat: The conflict appears in an article titled Letter: Proud resident of province welcomes Saskatchewan First Act published in the Saskatoon StarPhoenix on March 26 2023, Thomarat’s association with Galt Resources Strategy Group, linked to the Saskatchewan Party, is also concerning in this context.

7. Judy Desjarlais: No immediate conflict of interest is evident with Desjarlais, but the pattern of these appointments warrants general scrutiny.

These appointments, seemingly swayed by political affiliations and financial connections, critically undermine the core principles of fairness, impartiality, and independence that are vital to the Human Rights Commission.

I urge immediate action. These appointments must be scrutinized and potentially reassessed to ensure the integrity of the Human Rights Commission. Members must be chosen for their dedication to human rights, free from political and financial influences.

The citizens of Saskatchewan deserve a Human Rights Commission they can trust to make unbiased decisions. Anything short of this undermines the principles of justice and equality our province should uphold.

I expect a prompt and thorough review of these appointments and a strong commitment to uphold higher standards in future selections. The credibility of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission and public trust in our democratic institutions depend on this.

Sincerely,

(Your Name)
