Colin Fraser at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

Yes.

Thank you very much, ladies, for being here.

I have a quick question with regard to the statement of the government's position on this that we were handed. The briefing reads, “Canada does not generally use criminal law-type prosecutions and penalties to address discrimination.”

I'd like to hear your comment on the fact that generally they are not used. Can you give examples of where the criminal law-type prosecutions and penalties are used to address discrimination? What examples are there in our law?
