Section 479.1
Disposition versions
479.1. Reprisals are prohibited against a person who, in good faith, makes a report or files a complaint, cooperates in the processing of a report or complaint or accompanies a person who makes a report or files a complaint under sections 26, 28.1, 258.0.1 and 262.
It is also prohibited to threaten to take a reprisal against a person to dissuade the person from performing an act described in the first paragraph.
The demotion, suspension, termination of employment or transfer of a person or any disciplinary or other measure that adversely affects the employment or working conditions of a person is presumed to be a reprisal. Depriving a student, child or their parents of any right or subjecting them to differential treatment or suspending or expelling a student who has made a report or filed a complaint is also presumed to be a reprisal.
This section is in force except in respect of reports and complaints made pursuant to sections 258.0.1 and 262 of the Education Act (chapter I-13.3). See Order in Council 1300-2024 dated 21 August 2024, (2024) 156 G.O. 2, 3451.
