Margaret Wente: Human Rights Commissions

What do human rights commissions do? The other day I decided to find out. I dropped in on a hearing at the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, where the really serious cases wind up.
This case involved a complaint by two women against Dr. Robert Stubbs, a plastic surgeon who has a private clinic in Toronto. Dr. Stubbs is best known for surgically enhancing the genitalia of people who are dissatisfied with their private parts. The women complained to the human rights commission after he turned them down for surgery.
