The ''Canadian Human Rights Act'' applies to the federal government and businesses that it regulates, such as airlines and banks. The Canadian Human Rights Commission investigates complaints of discrimination and other violations of this law. Before the ''Canadian Human Rights Act'' was amended in 2008, it prevented challenges of federal or band government decisions made under the Indian Act. The 2008 amendments applied to the federal government immediately. First Nations had a 3-year transition period so the amendments applied to them as of 2011. Script 236 has more on human rights and discrimination. | The ''Canadian Human Rights Act'' applies to the federal government and businesses that it regulates, such as airlines and banks.
