Description
August 15 Montréal The Québec Human Rights Commission informed ADGQ that it had reconsidered its former decision concerning the refusal of the Montreal Catholic School Commission to rent a meeting room to the group and now "recognized the legal merits of the CECM's decision to refuse the rental of a room to the organization." The CECM had used article 20 of the Québec Human Rights Charter to argue that discrimination could be permitted when "founded on aptitudes or qualities required in good faith."
