Adisaputri and Ralph filed a complaint with the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission in 2019 but say it got them nowhere, even though human rights commission documents submitted to CBC News by Ralph show that a director for the company, when speaking to an officer, admitted to having a no-children policy.

Looks like there might be more going on here than backlogs (which are bad enough on their own).
