Short Version

This Act prohibits discrimination based on genetic testing and results in most circumstances, while also amending related federal labour and human rights laws.

What It Means

Bill S-201, the Genetic Non-Discrimination Act, makes it illegal for most people to require an individual to undergo or disclose the results of a genetic test as a condition of receiving goods or services, entering into contracts, or continuing existing agreements. It also protects employees from being forced to take genetic tests or disclose their results by their employers, and prohibits employers from taking disciplinary action based on an employee's genetic test results. Exceptions are made for healthcare practitioners providing services and for researchers conducting studies, provided the individuals are research participants. The Act also amends the Canada Labour Code and the Canadian Human Rights Act to include protections related to genetic testing and genetic characteristics.

What This Bill Does
  • Prohibits requiring individuals to undergo a genetic test or disclose its results as a condition for receiving goods or services, or for entering into or continuing a contract.
  • Prohibits refusing to provide goods or services, or to enter into or continue a contract, because an individual refused to undergo a genetic test or disclose its results.
  • Prohibits collecting, using, or disclosing an individual's genetic test results without their written consent, except for specific circumstances.
  • Creates exceptions for healthcare practitioners providing health services and for researchers conducting studies with participant consent.
  • Amends the Canada Labour Code to protect employees from being required to undergo or disclose genetic test results, and prohibits employers from taking disciplinary action based on these tests.
  • Amends the Canadian Human Rights Act to prohibit discrimination based on genetic characteristics, including refusal to undergo or disclose results of a genetic test.
  • Establishes penalties for contravening the prohibitions, including fines and imprisonment.
Who Is Affected
  • Individuals who may be asked to undergo or disclose genetic test results.
  • Employers and employees in federally regulated industries.
  • Healthcare practitioners.
  • Researchers.
  • Service providers.
  • Contracting parties.
Rights, Duties, Or Obligations
  • Individuals have the right not to be required to undergo or disclose genetic test results as a condition of receiving goods, services, or entering into contracts.
  • Individuals have the right to not have their genetic test results collected, used, or disclosed without their written consent.
  • Employees have the right not to be required to undergo or disclose genetic test results, and to not face disciplinary action based on these tests or results.
  • Persons and employers are obligated not to contravene the prohibitions outlined in the Act.
Important Dates
  • The Act received Royal Assent, meaning it is now law. Specific commencement dates for certain provisions may be set by the Governor in Council.
  • The coordinating amendments related to Bill C-16 come into force on the first day both are in force.
Financial Or Tax Impacts
  • Individuals found guilty of contravening sections 3 to 5 of the Act may be liable to a fine not exceeding $1,000,000 on conviction on indictment, or $300,000 on summary conviction.
  • Imprisonment is also a possible penalty for contravention: up to five years on indictment, or up to twelve months on summary conviction.
Enforcement Or Penalties
  • Contravention of sections 3 to 5 of the Act is an offence.
  • Penalties include fines (up to $1,000,000 on indictment or $300,000 on summary conviction) and/or imprisonment (up to five years on indictment or 12 months on summary conviction).
  • In the Canada Labour Code, employees can make a complaint to an inspector regarding employer actions contravening genetic testing protections. An adjudicator can order remedies for contraventions, including reinstatement and compensation.
Uncertainties Or Limits
  • The text does not specify a date for the Act's general commencement, only that it has received Royal Assent.
  • The exact scope of 'goods or services' and 'contract or agreement' is not detailed.
  • The specific conditions under which healthcare practitioners and researchers are exempt are described but might require further interpretation in practice.
  • The effective date of amendments related to Bill C-16 depends on that bill also receiving Royal Assent and coming into force.
