Description:
The Canadian Human Rights Act is the central federal legislation that protects the right of individuals to freely participate without unlawful discrimination in all key aspects of society, including employment.

The Canadian Human Rights Act: Quick Reference is intended to provide federal employers, employees and bargaining agents with a complete yet concise overview of the Canadian Human Rights Act and its potential impact on those operating in federally regulated industries. Any employer or service-provider whose enterprise falls within this federal sphere is well advised to familiarize itself with the provisions of the Act. This Quick Reference will also be of interest to human resources professionals across Canada.

The Canadian Human Rights Act: Quick Reference, 2010 Edition features clarifications and source references as well as the following:
  • Recent Supreme Court of Canada case law has been added that clarifies the standard to be applied in determining whether an employer has met its duty to accommodate an employee's reintegration into the workplace.
  • The legislation has been updated to reflect a recent amendment regarding the application of the Act.
  • Recent Supreme Court of Canada case law has been added that significantly modifies the standard of review of administrative tribunals.
  • Recent case law has been added to reflect the Tribunal's jurisdiction to award compensation for breach of the Act such as for legal costs, and also to reflect the Tribunal's authority to limit compensation by taking into account the concept of mitigation.
New for the 2010 Edition:
  • The role of third parties, such as email services, Facebook and Twitter, in the dissemination of hate messages
  • The constitutionality of section 13 of the Act (hate messages)
  • Limitations on the application of the Act to certain discriminatory practices
  • The elimination of mandatory retirement as it formerly applied to airline pilots
This Quick Reference volume also contains the full text of the Canadian Human Rights Act and Regulations and the Employment Equity Act.
