Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Canadian Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of age (as well as other grounds such as race, gender, and disability) in employment and other areas. The Employment Standards Act sets minimum standards for employment rights such as minimum wage and hours of work, but does not specifically address age discrimination. The Labour Relations Act of Canada governs the collective bargaining process and does not directly address age discrimination in employment. The Criminal Code of Canada sets out criminal offenses but does not relate to age discrimination in employment specifically.
