What are the implications of race discrimination in employment law?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Simpkin v. Stl’atl’imx Tribal Police Board (No. 3), 2016 BCHRT 56 (CanLII):
The parties also invoke sections of the Code which create competing rights: an employee’s right under s. 13(1) not to be adversely treated in her employment because of her race or ancestry, and the right of the class of organizations identified in s. 41 to grant a preference to individuals of Stl’atl’imx ancestry. The interplay between these sections raises legal issues on which both parties should have the opportunity to lead evidence and full submissions: Elliott v. Ooknakane and another, 2012 BCHRT 388, para. 28. Isaac and Failure to Accommodate Allegations
