What provincial act deals with discrimination in the work place?

  1. Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

  2. Human Rights Code

  3. Occupational Health and Safety

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Human Rights Code

The Human Rights Code is the correct answer because it is the provincial act in Ontario that directly addresses issues related to discrimination in the workplace. The act outlines that every person has a right to equal treatment with respect to employment without discrimination and it covers a range of grounds including race, ancestry, place of origin, color, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and many others. In essence, it provides a legal framework to prevent, identify, and address discrimination and harassment within the workplace in Ontario. While other options might be involved in providing broader human rights and safety protections, the Human Rights Code is specifically aimed at preventing and responding to discrimination in employment and other areas of daily life.
