Every Province and Territory, as Well as the Federal Government

Essay

Every province and territory, as well as the federal government, has established a human rights code or act that prohibits discrimination in employment. The grounds for discrimination outlined in the Canadian Human Rights Act are race, colour, religion, age, sex, marital status, and mental or physical disability. Recruitment practices that are free of bias will attract the most qualified applicants. It is a discriminatory practice if interviewing procedures exclude a particular group directly or indirectly on a prohibited ground of discrimination.
Write six questions for each of the six prohibited grounds in all jurisdictions of Canada that you would avoid asking on an application form or during an interview. Reword the questions so that they can be asked to gather information that relates to an applicant's ability to do the job.
