Human Rights
The Tribunal’s human rights mandate
The Canadian Human Rights Act protects people from discrimination and ensures equal rights for everyone. It prohibits discrimination based on factors like race, religion, gender, age or disability in federally regulated areas such as workplaces, government services and housing.
If someone believes they have been discriminated against, they can file a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission. The Commission investigates into the complaint and tries to resolve it through mediation or other means. If the complaint cannot be resolved, it may be referred to us.
