B. "The individual or AR shall file the petition for a hearing with the chairperson of the lHRC within 10 working days...."

Suggest changing  this to filing the petition for a hearing with the Regional Advocate who will then follow-up with arranging the hearing with the LHRC Committee. Clients are already familiar with contacting their advocate and this would likley streamline the processes. In addition,  LHRC Chair person would likely not want their conatct information distributed.
