This is a federal government agency responsible for administering the Canadian Human Rights Act, which applies to federal government departments and agencies, crown corporations, and business and industry under federal jurisdiction, such as banks, airlines, telecommunications, and interprovincial transportation.

It protects against discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth and childcare), family or marital status, the fact that a person was convicted for an offence for which a pardon has been issued, disability (which includes mental and physical disabilities as well as those that are a result of existing or previous drug or alcohol dependence), and sexual orientation.
