Canadian Human Rights Tribunal
  • The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal is an independent body at an arm's-length of the government who hears cases of equality and discrimination violations within federally regulated institutions such as: the military, airlines, trucking companies, banks, and the federal government.
  • The decisions made by the Tribunal are independent from influences of any Minister or government official.
  • The Canadian Human Rights Commission passes on cases to the Tribunal to investigate and determine whether discrimination has taken place and how to move forward.
  • The Tribunal is a less formal version of a court of law in that in only hears cases relating to discrimination.
