Description
June 2 Ottawa In a unanimous vote in the House of Commons, Parliament passed the Canadian Human Rights Act (Bill C–25), which governed employment by the federal government but which contained no provision for protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation. The NGRC had launched a vigorous campaign to persuade Members of Parliament to amend the act, and had enlisted the support of a broad range of labour, women's, religious, legal, educational, and other groups.
