Under the Canadian Human Rights Act, how many grounds of discrimination are prohibited?

  1. 10

  2. 11

  3. 15

  4. 8

The correct answer is: 11

The Canadian Human Rights Act recognizes and prohibits discrimination on 11 grounds. These include race, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability and conviction for an offense for which a pardon has been granted, or in respect of which a record suspension has been ordered. These grounds are listed to ensure that individuals are protected from discrimination in areas such as employment or the provision of goods, services, and facilities. So, under this Act, discrimination based on these 11 grounds is considered unlawful.
