At an information meeting held Monday night at the Northwest Com- munity College, former human rights officer Ross Fedy, of Terrace, said that thenew bill 11 is “as bad or worse,” than the previous bill 27.

Fedy said provinces have strengthened their legislation in recent years, but B.C.’s proposed bill is a step backwards, and if passed will mean human rights legislation in this province will be the weakest in the country. Bill 11 even ignores recommendations from other DAY two, gZovernment-appointed commissions, he said, Only six people attended the Terrace information meeting. “T guess it's a non-issue. ta a lot of pecple,”. said Fedy, who was laid off last July when the ranks of human rights workers were cut, “But it's a real eye- opener to look at the number of people who will be affected — one in five in B.C. on income agsistance, one af 10 disabled, young people, senior citizens, people with accents and - non-whites, women with hitting them Individually they'll listen.” =. Fedy pointed to at least four areas of concern with the proposed legislation; . the first the issue of “reasonable cause.’ The new bill would take the onus from employers to prove they had a “reasonable cause” to discriminate and put: it back on the person to show they had been discriminated against. — The second issue: ‘ig “intent.” Scouting News hts bill = Elsewhere, in’ Ontario's new human rights legisiation,. protection against unintended discrimination effects is . included. a ; The final areas of con- cern, Fedy said, are en- forcement and education, for which there seems to be no provision in bill 11, He said from experience: in other locations, .when education and enforcement on their own, to make certain their hiring practices embarrassment and.. the conform. to. § legislation, so they. avoid’. . . it expensive class action suits: at Chichards i gs if “> sor Ladies’ Cotton blend dress or business shirts ; ‘ 2 Proceeds will go to district events for the boys, end, and this alone will stop A Ss cc ¢ [ : expertly laundered such as the upcoming Beaveree, Bike Ralleyand ||. the majority of complaints U €s S U i Cub Camp.
