"WHEREAS the Toronto Mayor's Committee on Community and Race Relations of the former City of Toronto made a formal complaint (dated July 18, 1996) to the Canadian Human Rights Commission (the "Commission") alleging that Ernst Zundel has discriminated against certain identifiable individuals or groups on the grounds of race, religion or national or ethnic origin contrary to subsection 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act by placing holocaust denial and hate propaganda material on the Internet which will expose persons of Jewish origin to hatred and contempt; and



WHEREAS Mr. Zundel has also made an application (dated December 12, 1996) for judicial review to the Federal Court of Canada (Trial Division) challenging, among other things, the jurisdiction of the Commission to deal with this matter under the Act and requesting a stay of proceedings to allow for a Court to first rule on these issues; and

WHEREAS the Tribunal in the Zundel case heard submissions on April 7 and 8, 1998 with respect to a motion by Mr. Zundel's lawyer arguing that the effect of the Bell Canada decision is to stay proceedings before any tribunal appointed under the Act and decided to reserve its decision on that question and adjourn the hearing until May 11, 1998 so as to avoid a multiplicity of Court proceedings; and



WHEREAS Zundel's lawyer has, among other things, also brought a similar motion, apparently in the context of his judicial review application, in Federal Court to be heard on April 20, 1998; and



WHEREAS this motion seeks an order staying the Tribunal proceeding respecting the Mayor's Committee's complaint; and



WHEREAS it is therefore appropriate that the Mayor's Committee, as a complaint whose interest will be affected by the outcome of the motion, be represented in the Federal Court with respect to the hearing of the motions scheduled for April 20, 1998; and
