  2007 CHRT 24 2007/05/29
  [1] In a letter dated March 27, 2007, Mr. Kulbashian, Ms. Guille's agent, requests that Mr. Warman disclose to him documents that are arguably relevant to the present proceedings. More specifically, Mr. Kulbashian states in his letter that:
  Mr. Warman has still failed to disclose notes from his speech on January 18, 2007;
  Mr. Warman has not disclosed his notes from other speeches that mention the respondents;
  Mr. Warman has still to disclose a list of accounts that he has created on ANY of the Canadian Heritage Alliance forums or bulletin board systems.
  [2] The parties are reminded that it is their obligation to disclose every document which is arguably relevant to the issues to be decided in relation to the present complaint.
  [3] Hence, the Tribunal directs Mr. Warman to disclose to Mr. Kulbashian any document that he has in his possession which is arguably relevant to the issues to be decided in the present proceedings. More specifically, the Tribunal orders that Mr. Warman disclose, if he has not yet done so, to the respondents through the Tribunal:
  any document that mentions the respondents; a list of names of forum accounts that Mr. Warman might have created which gives him the ability to post messages on any Canadian Heritage Alliance forum.
  [4] Further, the Tribunal directs Mr. Warman to provide to the Tribunal speech notes, text or audiotapes related to an event which took place on January 18, 2007 in relation to an anti-racist gathering in Toronto. The Tribunal will determine if they are arguably relevant to the present proceedings, and if so, disclose them to the respondents.
