All jusrisdictions in canada prohibit discrimination on race, sexual orientation and martial status (common prohibited grounds). Remember you can not discriminate on the basis of race and gender. Refusing to hire a flight attendant who is below 5 feet is an example of that unless there is a bona fide occupational requirement. Regulatory bodies to enforce compliance with human rights legislation is the human rights commission and ministry of labor. Technological advances have resulted in outsourcing operational hr activities. Direct - deliberate discrimination based on prohibited grounds, has no exceptions and is not tolerated.
