Employment and contracting provisions in Impact and Benefit Agreements are special programs under Ontario's Human Rights Code [electronic resource].

"Impact and Benefit Agreements (IBAs) are becoming an industry standard for resource development projects that are located on or impact Aboriginal Peoples' traditional lands and rights. The agreements often contain employment and contracting provisions that give priority for training, hiring and contracting to Aboriginal Peoples. When Aboriginal governments choose to enter into IBAs, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) supports developing and implementing preferential employment and contracting provisions in IBAs, to address historical disadvantage and promote substantive equality for Aboriginal Peoples in Ontario. It is the OHRC's position that the preferential employment and contracting provisions in IBAs are consistent with 'special programs' under section 14 of Ontario's Human Rights Code (the Code)."-- Overview.
