Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board (CCPERB)

The Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board is an independent, quasi-judicial decision-making body that reports to the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages.

Established in 1977 by the Cultural Property Export and Import Act, the Review Board determines whether cultural property is of outstanding significance and national importance with a view to protecting and preserving Canada’s artistic, historic, and scientific heritage and making it accessible to the public.

Mandate

• Certify cultural property as being of outstanding significance and national importance;
• Establish export delays to provide designated organizations with an opportunity to acquire significant cultural property threatened with permanent export; and
• Determine fair cash offers to purchase cultural property for refused export permits.

Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT)

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.

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).

Mandate

The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has a statutory mandate to apply the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA) based on the evidence presented and on the case law in the cases it hears.

The CIRB provides a variety of dispute resolution services. It adjudicates matters where necessary, but it also focuses on providing mediation assistance at all stages of a proceeding, in order to proactively seek a resolution of matters that best meets the needs of the parties.

At the request of the Government, the CITT provides advice in tariff, trade, commercial and economic matters.

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;

Public Servants Disclosure Protection Tribunal Canada (PSDPT)

The Public Servants Disclosure Protection Tribunal, established in 2007, is a quasi-judicial body that operates independently from any Canadian federal department.

The PSDPT was created to enhance public confidence in the integrity of public servants and to protect from reprisals, those who report wrongdoing.

The PSDPT hears reprisal complaints referred by the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner and decides if complainants have been subject to reprisals. If this is the case, the Tribunal orders remedies for the complainant and disciplinary action against the person who took the reprisal.

Mandate

• Ensuring that processes are fair and transparent;
• Ensuring that parties are treated fairly and impartially;
• Rendering decisions that are sound and well-reasoned;
• Informing key stakeholders and Canadians about its role and mandate; and
• Providing public access to the Tribunal's decisions.
