Summary:
Three employers, apprehensive of the development of work-disrupting health complications, denied permanent employment to three applicants who had physical anomalies that did not functionally limit them in the employment sought. The applicants invoked s. 10 of Quebec's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, which prohibited discrimination on the basis of handicap, and filed a complaint with the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse (Que.). The Commission referred the complaints to the Human Rights Tribunal (Que.).
The Human Rights Tribunal, in decisions reported 25 C.H.R.R. D/412 and 25 C.H.R.R. D/407 dismissed the complaints of two applicants. In a decision reported 26 C.H.R.R. D/466, the Tribunal allowed the complaint of the third applicant. The first two applicants appealed. The employer respecting the third applicant intervened in the appeals.
The Quebec Court of Appeal allowed the appeals and rejected the intervention. The court returned the matter to the tribunal of first instance for a decision regarding s. 20 of the Charter, where the onus was on the employer to justify the exclusion. The employers appealed.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal.
Civil Rights - Topic 902
Discrimination - General principles - Discrimination defined - Three employers, apprehensive of the development of work-disrupting health complications, denied permanent employment to three applicants who had physical anomalies that did not functionally limit them in the employment sought - The applicants invoked s. 10 of Quebec's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, which prohibited discrimination on the basis of handicap, and filed a complaint, which was successful - The Supreme Court of Canada held that the Charter's objectives, namely the right to equality and protection against discrimination, could not be achieved unless it was recognized that discriminatory acts could be based as much on perception and myths as on the existence of actual functional limitations - Since the very nature of discrimination was often subjective, assigning the burden of proving the objective existence of functional limitations to a victim of discrimination would be to give that person a virtually impossible task - Functional limitations often existed only in the mind of other people, in this case, that of the employer - See paragraphs 33 to 41.
Civil Rights - Topic 989
Discrimination - Employment - On basis of physical or mental handicap - Three employers, apprehensive of the development of work-disrupting health complications, denied permanent employment to three applicants who had physical anomalies that did not functionally limit them in the employment sought - The applicants invoked s. 10 of Quebec's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, which prohibited discrimination on the basis of handicap, and filed a complaint, which was successful - The Supreme Court of Canada held that the liberal and purposive method of interpretation along with the contextual approach, which included an analysis of the objectives of human rights legislation, the way in which the word "handicap" and other similar terms have been interpreted elsewhere in Canada, the legislative history, the intention of the legislature and the other provisions of the Charter, supported a broad definition of the word "handicap", which did not necessitate the presence of functional limitations and which recognized the subjective component of any discrimination based on this ground - See paragraphs 26 to 71.
Civil Rights - Topic 989
Discrimination - Employment - On basis of physical or mental handicap - Three employers, apprehensive of the development of work-disrupting health complications, denied permanent employment to three applicants who had physical anomalies that did not functionally limit them in the employment sought - The applicants invoked s. 10 of Quebec's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, which prohibited discrimination on the basis of handicap, and filed a complaint, which was successful - The Supreme Court of Canada proposed a series of guidelines to facilitate interpretation and, at the same time, allow courts to develop the notion of handicap consistently with various biomedical, social or technological factors - The court stated: "Thus, a 'handicap' may be the result of a physical limitation, an ailment, a social construct, a perceived limitation or a combination of all of these factors. Indeed, it is the combined effect of all these circumstances that determines whether the individual has a 'handicap' for the purposes of the Charter." - See paragraphs 72 to 84.
Civil Rights - Topic 7003
Federal or provincial legislation - General -Interpretation of human rights legislation - The Supreme Court of Canada restated that, given its fundamental and quasi-constitutional status, human rights legislation prevailed over other legislation - The court added that because of its quasi-constitutional status, human rights legislation had to be interpreted in light of both its context and objectives - See paragraphs 27 to 32.
