According to the text of the Canadian Human Rights Act: It is a discriminatory practice, directly or indirectly... in the course of employment, to differentiate adversely in relation to an employee,
on a prohibited ground of discrimination.
It is a discriminatory practice in the provision of goods, services, facilities or accommodation customarily available to the general public... to differentiate adversely in relation to any individual,
on a prohibited ground of discrimination.
It is a discriminatory practice, directly or indirectly... in the course of employment, to differentiate adversely in relation to an employee,
on a prohibited ground of discrimination.
The words «
on a prohibited ground of discrimination» add nothing more than a casual link between the protected classes and the differentiation or effects.
