​​The Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse hopes that the recent media coverage surrounding the end of Walmart's vocational training program have raised the awareness of Québec society, and in particular that of employers, about the importance to integrate persons with disabilities in employment.

​​The Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse is pleased to see its expertise regarding sexual harassment recognized by Bill 176. The bill submitted to the National Assembly on Tuesday confirms the role of the Commission when a complaint concerns sexual misconduct. "Sexual harassment has been an issue of concern to the Commission since its inception more than 40 years ago. Our action has helped to make it a public issue and a human right recognized in the Québec's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms since 1982. We can therefore only rejoice at the recognition of our actions and of our expertise within Bill 176," said Philippe-André Tessier, interim president of the Commission.​
