The commission says its seen an increase in complaints, that people with mental heath issues are being discriminated at work.
Randy Dickinson, chairperson of the Human Rights Commission tells CHSJ News, 55 per cent of the annual complaints reported to the commission are around discrimination based on disability.
"Unfortunately, there are still many individuals and situations where people are blatantly discriminated against, in terms of being denied an opportunity for employment or people making racist comments," says Dickinson.
He says that although we've made a lot of progress, there's room for improvement.
