What is the role of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal?

HRPA’s employment law content distinguishes between federal human rights bodies: the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) and the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT). The CHRC investigates and may refer cases; the Tribunal is an adjudicative body that hears evidence and decides whether a discriminatory practice occurred and orders appropriate remedies. Education and prevention (B) are CHRC functions; Employment Equity Act administration (C) is not the Tribunal’s adjudicative role; investigation and referral (D) are CHRC responsibilities.
