Description

April 24 Toronto Ontario Labour Minister Robert Elgie reintroduced in the Ontario Legislature an act to revise the Ontario Human Rights Code. The original bill, Bill 209, an Act to Amend the Ontario Human Rights Code, had first been introduced in November 1980 but died on the order paper because of the Ontario provincial election of March 19, 1981. Now known as Bill 7, the reintroduced bill once again omitted any human rights protections based on sexual orientation. Both the NDP caucus and a majority of the Liberal caucus appeared willing to introduce a sexual orientation amendment to the bill when it went to committee.
