This amendment uses the same language that the government used in Bill C-30 to refer to “persons, works, undertakings or activities”. “Person” is a legal term of art, the addition of which, of course, refers to a human person or a corporate entity. The reference to “works, undertakings or activities” was to ensure that the scope of this authority would be interpreted as broadly as possible, so that regardless of the focus of the regulation under other parts of CEPA, the administrative discrimination authority that would be provided in proposed subsection 330(3.1) could apply to those regulations. The intention is to make this as broad as possible.
