The Human Rights Commissions in each province and territory have been established under the Canadian Human Rights Act, which provides protection against discrimination based on various grounds such as race, national or ethnic origin, sex, age, and religion. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution Act of 1867 also contain provisions related to human rights, but they do not establish the Human Rights Commissions. The Canadian Labour Code is focused on regulating the federal labor relations, and does not relate to the establishment of Human Rights Commissions in the provinces and territories.
