An examination of the duty to accommodate in the Canadian human rights context / revised by Laura Barnett, Robert Mason, Julia Nicol and Julian Walker. : YM32-2/2012-01-2020E-PDF

"This Background Paper provides an overview of the duty to accommodate – a fundamental principle of equality included in all Canadian human rights laws – and describes how that principle has been interpreted and applied in Canadian jurisprudence. … This Background Paper begins by reviewing the right to equality and the various human rights laws that establish the framework for the duty to accommodate. It then explores each of the prohibited grounds of discrimination in these laws (disability, religion, sex and gender, gender identity and gender expression, and family status), how they have been applied in the Canadian context, and how courts and human rights tribunals have defined the scope of the duty in different contexts"--Executive summary, page ii.
