Canadian Human Rights Commissioner Resigns Amid Controversy

Birju Dattani steps down following investigation into past remarks about Israel and undisclosed alias.

Birju Dattani resigned before officially starting as Canada's human rights commissioner.
The resignation followed complaints and an investigation into past comments about Israel.
The investigation found no antisemitic beliefs but questioned Dattani's transparency regarding his alias.
Justice Minister Arif Virani accepted Dattani's resignation and will start the search for a new commissioner.
Interim commissioner Charlotte-Anne Malischewski will continue in the role until a new appointment is made.
