What is the current state of the law in Canada on the issue of same sex employment?

Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from Black v. Law Society of Alberta, 1986 ABCA 68 (CanLII):

The pursuit of a livelihood through a trade or calling has been, in Canada, accepted as an appropriate and vital human ambition, available to those of either sex who want or need to pursue it. Our tradition was admirably expressed by McEachern, C.J. in Mia v. Medical Services Commission of B.C. at 301: … there are some rights enjoyed by our people including the right to work or practise a profession that are so fundamental that they must be protected even if they include an economic element. … Rights we have enjoyed for centuries include the right to pursue a calling or profession for which we are qualified, and to move freely throughout the realm for that purpose. These are rights our people have always taken for granted. Who would question them until now?
