CANADA'S COURT SYSTEM - DEPT. OF JUSTICE http://canada.justice.gc.ca/en/dept/pub/trib/page3.html
	There are basically four levels of court in Canada. First there are provincial courts, which handle the great majority of cases that come into the system. Second are the provincial and territorial superior courts. These courts deal with more serious crimes and also take appeals from provincial court judgments. On the same level, but responsible for different issues, is the Federal Court, Trial Division. At the next level are the provincial courts of appeal and the Federal Court of Appeal, while the highest level is occupied by the Supreme Court of Canada. back to top

COURTS
Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) http://www.chrt-tcdp.gc.ca/
	The purpose of the Canadian Human Rights Act is to protect individuals from discrimination. It states that all Canadians have the right to equality, equal opportunity, fair treatment, and an environment free of discrimination. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) applies these principles to cases that are referred to it by the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC). The Tribunal is similar to a court of law, but is less formal and only hears cases relating to discrimination. back to top
