i should be back up on the laptop by the morning.
for now, i'm going to spend the next 9 hours or so sorting through this here on the chromebook:
and making sure i understand what the next steps are.
that sjto.gov link has indeed been removed. so, i can't find the file i was looking for because it's been taken down. that explains it...
according to archive.org, the last snapshot of that site was taken on june 6, 2020.
but, observing the snapshot, i see that it is the same content as exists here:
.....and that was not hard to find. but, i want something at canlii or e-laws (which also appears to have been taken down). this is all done by the ford government, and you can tell it's some kind of rebranding attempt - they're essentially destroying everybody's links for who knows how far back because they don't like the term "social justice", which is just childish.
but, i mean, that's conservatives for you - they generally act like children.
it seems as though the tribunal will make it's own rules, rather than exist as a creature of statute. i actually don't like that, at all. but, if what i was looking for was a statute, it doesn't seem like such a thing actually exists, and it doesn't seem like i was relying on a statute when i figured this out last time.
i can't directly consult the statute if there isn't one.
so be it.
