Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the province of Ontario, a person who has been discriminated against when seeking employment would turn to the Human Rights Code. The Code prohibits discrimination on several grounds including race, gender, age, and disability. It also sets out the process for making a complaint and seeking a remedy. The Employment Standards Act deals with employment standards such as hours of work, minimum wage, and vacations. The Bill of Rights and Labour Relations Code do not address discrimination in employment. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies to government actions and does not directly address discrimination in employment.
