OTTAWA — The Opposition Conservatives vowed Friday that a future Pierre Poilievre-led government would remove the man the Liberals just appointed to lead the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

Birju Dattani, the first Muslim and racialized person to hold the role, is to take over as the chief commissioner next month for a five-year term.

MP Melissa Lantsman, one of the party’s deputy leaders, said in a statement that Conservatives would rescind that appointment.
