What is the meaning of the term “service” in the context of the definition of a “customarily available” service?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Cruden v. Canadian International Development Agency& Health Canada, 2011 CHRT 13 (CanLII):
In this section, the term “services” has been interpreted as something of benefit, being “held out” as a service (see Canada (Attorney General) v. Watkin, 2008 FCA 170 at para. 31). The term “customarily available to the general public” contemplates that the service being offered creates a public relationship between the service provider and the service user (Dreaver v. Pankiw, 2009 CHRT 8 at para. 30; and, Gould v. Yukon Order of Pioneers, 1996 CanLII 231 (SCC), [1996] 1 S.C.R. 571 at para. 69).
