At an extraordinary public hearing watched by armed police officers, an investigator for the Canadian Human Rights Commission yesterday admitted he has regularly misrepresented himself online to gather information about people accused of spreading hatred on the Internet.

Dean Steacy, who was the commission's only hate speech investigator until 2004, told the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal that he has used pseudonym e-mail addresses to access neo-Nazi and other far-right websites.
