The BC HRC Act

Section 35 Remedies 37 (1) If the member or panel designated to hear a complaint determines that the complaint is not justified, the member or panel must dismiss the complaint.

(4) The member or panel may award costs
(a) against a party to a complaint who has engaged in improper conduct during the course of the complaint

Nothing anywhere on quantifing costs to be recovered, just may
Oh and this brilliant balance of law..

Enforcement of remedies 39 (2) An order filed under subsection (1) has the same force and effect, and all proceedings may be taken on it, as if it were a judgment of the Supreme Court.

So the folks at HRC have the same powers as the Supreme Court, scary!
