What is the test to establish a prima facie case of discrimination at a human rights tribunal?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Fleming v. Treasury Board (Canada Border Services Agency), 2016 PSLREB 96 (CanLII):

82 The starting point of the test to establish a prima facie case of discrimination is set out in Ontario Human Rights Commission v. Simpsons-Sears, above at p. 558, where McIntyre J noted that the complainant in proceedings before a human rights tribunal must show a prima facie case of discrimination, and such a “prima facie case in this context is one which covers the allegations made and which, if they are believed, is complete and sufficient to justify a verdict in the complainant’s favour in the absence of an answer from the respondent-employer.”
