This paper considers the possibility that these restrictions entail “adverse effect” discrimination for immigrants to Canada. Since many immigrants arrive relatively late in their working life and with little personal wealth, denying them the right to employment may inadvertently create an undue economic hardship by limiting their capacity to accumulate sufficient savings for retirement.Item Open Access The End of an Age: Beyond Age Restrictions for Minors' Medical Treatment Decisions(Law Commission of Canada, 2004-10-29) Ferguson, LucindaItem Open Access Does Age Matter?
