Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Canadian Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination on various grounds, including age, in employment. This means that age cannot be taken into account when making decisions about hiring, promotions, or other aspects of employment. The Bonefide Occupational Requirement defense is available when an employer can demonstrate that a certain characteristic or requirement is necessary for the job in question, and there is no reasonable alternative. The Old Age Security Act and Canadian Pension Plan deal with retirement benefits rather than employment discrimination.
