Defend And Protect Members Of Your Own Ranks
“I am very troubled by the results of the 2016 Survey on Sexual Misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces. It sheds light on statistics related to the behavior of military personnel in Canada. One in three Regular Force members saw, heard or experienced discriminatory gestures while one in four women has been a victim of sexual assault since joining the forces. The numbers, while shocking, are worse when you consider that many people are not surprised by the result.

We want to encourage dialogue, not litigation
In the wake of the most recent Canadian Human Rights Tribunal order that the federal government implement the ruling in the First Nations Child Welfare Case, the Canadian Human Rights Commission is calling on all parties to come together and start talking about realistic solutions that will have a positive impact on the lives of Indigenous children and families.
Canada’s human rights watchdog welcomes First Nations child welfare decision
“The Canadian Human Rights Commission is very pleased with this decision. Recognizing the work that has been done by the Parties since January 2016, the decision will bring much needed focus in implementing what remains to be done as soon as possible. As we have said consistently throughout this process, too many children living in care continue to wake up without having seen a measurable difference or improvement in their day-to-day lives. That, above all else, is the true measure of success, and the Commission is eager to move forward with all parties to make that happen.”
