<p>The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal is similar to a court of law, but is less formal and only hears cases relating to discrimination; it decides whether a person or organization has engaged in a discriminatory practice under the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHR Act). If the answer is yes, the Tribunal decides how to compensate the victim and how to prevent similar cases of discrimination in the future. </p>The act states that all Canadians have the right to equality, equal opportunity, fair treatment, and an environment free of discrimination. The CHRT applies these principles to cases that are referred to it by the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC).
<p>The Canadian International Trade Tribunal provides Canadian and international businesses with access to fair, transparent and timely processes for the investigation of trade remedy cases and complaints concerning federal government procurement and for the adjudication of appeals on customs and excise matters. At the request of the Government, the CITT provides advice in tariff, trade, commercial and economic matters. </p>'''Mandate'''
* Inquire into whether dumped or subsidized imports have caused, or are threatening to cause, injury to a domestic industry;
* Inquire into complaints by potential suppliers concerning procurement by the federal government that is covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Agreement on Internal Trade, the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement and the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement, or any other applicable trade agreement;
* Hear appeals of decisions of the Canada Border Services Agency made under the Customs Act and the Special Import Measures Act and of the Minister of National Revenue under the Excise Tax Act;
* Inquire into and provide advice on such economic, trade and tariff issues as are referred to the Tribunal by the Governor in Council or the Minister of Finance;
* Investigate requests from Canadian producers for tariff relief on imported textile inputs that they use in their production operations and to make recommendations to the Minister of Finance on the requests; and
* Inquire into complaints by domestic producers that increased imports are causing, or threatening to cause, injury to domestic producers and, as directed, make recommendations to the Government on an appropriate remedy.
