The annual report from the Provincial Human Rights Commission has been released.
It shows the average time to process a complaint was reduced to 11 months from 12 the previous year.
The Commission feels that is still to long but highlights the fact that complaints are becoming more complex.
The commission received 195 complaints of discrimination in 2009-10 including 16 similar complaints.
Most were employment-related and more than 40 per cent concerned discrimination based on physical or mental disability.
An additional 10 cases were settled before a complaint was filed.
