You will recall from the Workplace Law video Human Rights Fact Pattern: X-treme Madness, that Gail Thorel was employed as a graphic designer with a video game developer called X-treme Madness. A colleague of Ms. Thorel's, Amir Sauvey, had complained to their supervisor about Ms. Thorel loudly voicing her religious beliefs on homosexuality while at work. When their supervisor and the HR director met with Ms. Thorel and told her that her desk was being moved to a separate area and that she was no longer permitted to speak about her religious beliefs at work, Ms. Thorel stormed out of the office and filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal.

Was instructing Ms. Thorel not to speak about her religious beliefs at work discrimination under the Ontario Human Rights Code?

a) Yes, Ms. Thorel has every right to speak about her religious beliefs at work.

b) Yes, it was discrimination, but it was permissible discrimination.

c) No, Ms. Thorel did not suffer discrimination because discussing her religious beliefs at work was unprofessional.

d) Yes, X-treme Madness has a limitless duty under the Human Rights Code to accommodate an employee's religious beliefs.
