Tyler was temporarily disbarred in March 2016 for having not filed financial reports with the Quebec Bar Association.
During his Alliance Quebec tenure, the press characterized him as having a "brazen, ramrod persona"[16] and criticized him for his "hair-trigger temper".
[19] In June, 2014, Tyler announced in a press conference at the EMSB Headquarters that he will be running for the position of chair for the English Montreal School Board.
[22] Tyler states that his law practice has suffered due to his political activities, including his outspoken support for issues such as the partition of Quebec[2] and his controversial Bill 101 cases.
[23] Some of his fees for his Bill 101 cases have been paid for by fund-raising events and donations by groups opposed to Bill 101, including: the National Citizens Coalition (then headed by future Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper), National Post editor Diane Francis, the lobby group headed by Howard Galganov and the Montreal weekly newspaper, "The Suburban".
