Английская Википедия:Abella commission
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox event The Abella commission, officially the Royal Commission on Equality in Employment, was a Canadian federal royal commission headed by Rosalie Abella in 1983 to 1984.
Abella was the commission's sole commissioner.Шаблон:Sfn When she was appointed by Lloyd Axworthy, then the federal minister of employment and immigration, she was a family court judge in Ontario.Шаблон:Sfn The commission was charged with examining the employment practices of eleven federal Crown corporations, understood as exemplars of workplace conditions,Шаблон:Sfn with particular focus on women, Indigenous people, disabled people, and visible minorities.Шаблон:Sfn Its terms of reference required it to "inquire into the most efficient, effective, and equitable means of promoting employment opportunities, eliminating systemic discrimination, and assisting all individuals to compete for employment opportunities on an equal basis".Шаблон:Sfn
The commission's report was released in 1984.Шаблон:Sfn Abella wrote all of it, except for a section dealing with statistics.Шаблон:Sfn
The Abella commission developed the idea of employment equity and inspired the federal Employment Equity Act,Шаблон:Sfn which was passed in 1986 by the 33rd Canadian Parliament under Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.Шаблон:Sfn The report was grounded in the idea, expressed among other places in the American Supreme Court decision Griggs v. Duke Power Co., that discriminatory actions should be understood in terms of their impact, not in terms of people's intention.Шаблон:Sfn It endorsed an expansive concept of equality, according to which equality may sometimes mean treating people the same, while it may also mean treating people differently.Шаблон:Sfn Among other recommendations, the report suggested that the federal government create mandatory employment equity programmes in Crown and other corporations that showed evidence of systemic employment discrimination.[1]
