The purpose of the Canadian
Human Rights Act is to protect individuals from discrimination.
It states that all Canadians have the right to equality, equal
opportunity, fair treatment, and an environment free of discrimination.
The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) applies these principles
to cases that are referred to it by the Canadian Human Rights
Commission (CHRC). The Tribunal is similar to a court of law,
but is less formal and only hears cases relating to discrimination.
For further information about the different roles of the Tribunal
and the Commission, please see About
the CHRT and Jurisdiction.
Decision
of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in the (pay equity)
case of Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and
Canadian Human Rights Commission v. Canada Post Corporation
rendered Friday, October 7, 2005.
