Abstract

Canada's system of federal, provincial, and territorial anti-discrimination statutes enforced by commissions and tribunals faces a severe funding crisis. This study provides original data on funding and case management trends for each human rights institution in the country. It also documents efforts in Alberta—the jurisdiction in which funding cuts were the most severe—to address these challenges through policy reforms that might potentially serve as a model for other jurisdictions.
