Description
December 9–10 Ottawa A conference marking the thirtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, sponsored by the CHRC, concluded that Canada needed tougher human rights laws, less conservative courts, less powerful governments, and a public that didn't turn the other cheek. Gay rights were mentioned frequently during the conference, particularly the absence of sexual orientation protections in provincial human rights codes (except in Québec).
