SUMMARY

This enactment amends the Canadian Human Rights Act to specify that it is a discriminatory practice to deny an individual access to goods, services, facilities or accommodation that are customarily available to the general public by prohibiting the entry of the individual's assistance dog into any area where such goods, services, facilities or accommodation are accessible.

The enactment further amends the Act to specify that it is a discriminatory practice to deny the trainer of a dog that is being trained to be an assistance dog access to any such area by prohibiting the entry of the dog into the area. It also amends the Act to specify that it is a discriminatory practice to deny an individual occupancy of residential or commercial premises because that individual uses an assistance dog.
