Further, the six-month time limit is a substantive provision which is intended to ensure that complainants pursue their human rights remedies in a timely manner: see Chartier v. School District No. 62, 2003 BCHRT 39. I find that, in this case, the public interest is served by ensuring the statutory limitation has that intended effect and therefore decline to exercise my discretion to accept the 1990 or 1995 events as constituting part of the complaint. It would not be appropriate to accept a complaint so long after the events in questions; to decide otherwise would render the limitation period meaningless.
