1. Two errors in relation to respecting religious rights: Driving a wedge between religion and ethics/morals and treating all kinds of religious employers the same

   From: Creed, freedom of religion and human rights - Special issue of Diversity Magazine - Volume 9:3 Summer 2012

   This article argues that “creed” and religion should be understood as something that informs what a person takes into the public and that necessarily includes beliefs that may (and often do) influence “morals and ethics” and even “politics.”

2. Mémoire de la CODP présenté dans le cadre de l’Examen indépendant des contrôles de routine

   Le 1 mai 2018 - Le Règlement de l’Ontario 58/16 (« Collecte de renseignements identificatoires dans certaines circonstances – Interdiction et obligations ») (ci-après le « Règlement ») a été élaboré en réponse aux nombreux incidents de profilage racial dans les services policiers qui ont été signalés à l’échelle de la province, dans le but d’« assurer que les interactions entre la police et la population sont (...) exemptes de préjugés et de discrimination ». Malheureusement, de notre point de vue, cette promesse n’a pas été tenue et, en l’état actuel, le Règlement ne permet pas d’atteindre son objectif. Le profilage racial dans les services policiers demeure une réalité pour les Autochtones, les Noirs et les autres communautés racialisées. La Commission ontarienne des droits de la personne (CODP) espère toutefois que l’Examen indépendant des contrôles de routine et les recommandations qui en découlent permettront de modifier le Règlement pour qu’il puisse enfin tenir sa promesse.

3. Document de travail : Les assurances et les droits de la personne

   Octobre 1999 - Le présent document vise un double objectif : promouvoir le dialogue sur la protection des droits de la personne dans l’industrie des assurances, et examiner des solutions de rechange aux pratiques actuelles, grâce aux contributions d’experts, d’organismes de réglementation et de consommateurs. L’accès à l’assurance dans notre société soulève des questions graves touchant la justice distributive et l’équité dans le domaine public, questions qui n’ont guère reçu l’attention qu’elles méritent, que ce soit au Canada ou en Ontario, puisque l’établissement des taux d’assurance est normalement considéré comme relevant du domaine privé.

4. Discrimination based on mental health or addiction disabilities - Information for housing providers (fact sheet)

   June 2014 - People with addictions have the same right to be free from discrimination as other people with disabilities. There is often a cross-over between addictions and mental health disabilities, and many people experience both. The Code also protects people from discrimination because of past and perceived disabilities. People with a mental health or addiction disability who also identify with other Code grounds (such as sex, race or age) may be distinctly disadvantaged when they try to find or keep housing. Stereotypes may exist that are based on combinations of these identities that place people at unique disadvantage.

5. Discrimination based on disability and the duty to accommodate: Information for housing providers

   People with disabilities have the right to be free from discrimination in housing (“accommodation”). The Code applies to every part of buying or renting housing. This includes private, social, supportive and co-operative housing. When renting a place to live, the Code covers...

10. Discrimination based on mental health or addiction disabilities - Information for service providers (fact sheet)

    June 2014 - Discrimination in services may happen when a person experiences negative treatment or impact because of their mental health or addiction disability. Discrimination does not have to be intentional. And, a person’s mental health or addiction disability needs to be only one factor in the treatment they received to be able to show that discrimination took place. People with a mental health or addiction disability who also identify with other Code grounds (such as sex, race or age) may be distinctly disadvantaged when they try to access a service. Stereotypes may exist that are based on combinations of these identities that place people at unique disadvantage.
