In other words, in terms of getting a job, you’re legally better off convicted and pardoned than falsely suspected or accused. A private member’s bill from Liberal MPP Nathalie Des Rosiers, formerly general counsel for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, passed second reading in the Legislature on Thursday. But when the bill hits committee, I suspect an interesting philosophical discussion about rights might ensue. Perhaps that requirement is an appropriate barrier to receive official protections for one’s employment rights. Either way, I would rather politicians put their intentions in writing than rely on the Human Rights Commission to interpret their intent.
