Canadian Human Rights Commission | The Brian Mulroney Institute of Government

The Canadian Human Rights Commission's mandate is to "protect and promote human rights, and to advance equality and inclusion in Canada."
The Commission works closely with federally regulated employers to help eliminate barriers to equality and discrimination in an institution that answers to the Federal government such as banks, trucking companies, First Nations governments, etc.
The Commission gives citizens information about their rights, they help protect people from discrimination and they act as a government body to address and resolve human rights issues/concerns.
The Commission conducts research, informs/advises Parliament, engages the public, raises awareness, and conducts mediation sessions on cases where an individual feels they have been treated unfairly based on race, disability, sex, marital status, religion, colour, national or ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, family status, etc.
If the concern is outside of the Commission's abilities, they will refer the case to the Canadian human Rights Tribunal.
Anyone who feels they have been a victim to discrimination, can file a complaint to the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
