Protecting Ontario's Heritage of Human Rights


Especially in light of recent suggestions that Ontario's human rights protections should be watered down it's very important to speak up for human rights. Despite suggestions to the contrary, the human rights system has worked well in Ontario and has had the support (until recently) of all Provincial political parties.



In this regard, I'm glad to say Attorney General Chris Bentley spoke up in support of the human rights system this past Wednesday at the Bora Laskin Law Library. His speech can be viewed in three parts at the following links:
