Judicial review dismissed; Commission reasonably found language requirement, not race, led to employment denial.
The applicant sought judicial review of the Canadian Human Rights Commission's decision to dismiss his complaint against the CBSA.
The applicant, a black man, claimed the CBSA's strict application of its bilingual language requirement policy for an employment opportunity was discriminatory and adversely impacted him based on race and colour.
The Commission dismissed the complaint, finding the applicant lacked the requisite "CBC" proficiency and the position was filled by candidates exceeding the requirement.
The Federal Court found the Commission's decision reasonable, noting the applicant was not screened out due to race, but because he did not meet the language requirement for the position.
