Section 11
Disposition versions
11. When dealing with a request for an accommodation on religious grounds resulting from the application of section 10 of the Charter of human rights and freedoms (chapter C-12), the body must make sure that
(1) the request is serious;
(2) the accommodation requested is consistent with the right to equality of women and men and the right of every person to be treated without discrimination;
(3) the accommodation requested is consistent with the principle of State religious neutrality; and
(4) the accommodation is reasonable in that it does not impose undue hardship with regard to, among other considerations, the rights of others, public health and safety, the proper operation of the body, and the costs involved.
An accommodation may be granted only if the person making the request has cooperated in seeking a solution that meets the criterion of reasonableness.
