New Complaints

In 2001, the Commission received 1,485 complaints alleging discrimination based on a ground in the CHRA against a federally regulated employer or service provider. Of these, 574 resulted in signed complaints requiring investigation and/or efforts to help the parties resolve the matter. The remaining cases were discontinued when the complainant decided not to proceed with the matter or the situation was settled through other means. The number of signed complaints has remained relatively constant over the past five years: 562 in 2000, 566 in 1999, 622 in 1998, and 643 in 1997.

Table 1 lists the complainants’ province of residence for new complaints received over the last three years. The statistics in all tables are for the calendar year.
