The complaint was filed by Gwen Jaques against her former employer, Price Industries, a large multinational manufacturing company based in Winnipeg. Price Industries denies the allegations in Jaques's complaint and says it made a reasonable settlement offer in order to conclude the case. The human rights commission adjudicator, Gary Sarcida, concluded in his decision that the company's settlement offer was "reasonable." In response, the Manitoba Human Rights Commission said it acknowledges "current wait times to be assigned to an investigator are too long." "We are committed to improving client service and removing any unnecessary delay in the human rights complaint system," Sharma said.
