The province's Human Rights Tribunal is emerging as a divisive issue in the leadership race of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives.
Leadership hopeful Christine Elliott says a proposal to scrap the tribunal could hurt the party in the next provincial election.
Two of her rivals, Randy Hillier and Tim Hudak, support abolishing the tribunal.
Both say Ontario should move such cases to the courts, but Elliott says most people can't afford to take discrimination cases there.
