Section 10 of the Canadian Human Rights Act

Section 10 of the Canadian Human Rights Act states that it is illegal for federally regulated employers, service providers, and landlords to discriminate against individuals based on certain protected characteristics, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or religion. This section ensures that everyone has equal access to employment and services under federal jurisdiction, promoting fairness and preventing discrimination. It also grants the Canadian Human Rights Commission the authority to investigate complaints and take action to uphold these protections, aiming to create an inclusive and respectful environment for all individuals.
