Formal agreements help avoid family business friction
December 31, 2007
The federal government is catching up with its provincial counterparts in Ontario by introducing legislation to protect the human rights of transgender people, says Toronto human rights lawyer Deborah Howden.
Bill C-16, introduced recently in the House of Commons, would add the terms “gender identity” and “gender expression” to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA), mirroring language added to Ontario's Human Rights Code back in 2012.
Since then, a number of complainants have launched applications at the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) under the updated code.
