Amanda Lawrence-Patel Quoted in Canadian HR Reporter Article About Bill 26, Strengthening Post-secondary Institutions and Students Act
Canadian HR Reporter quoted Hicks Morley’s Amanda Lawrence-Patel in an article titled, “Bill 26 takes effect in Ontario.”
As Amanda notes, “Employers should have in place their policies pursuant to the legislation and then of course, in dealing with sexual misconduct, or allegations of sexual misconduct going forward, these institutions are going to have to be mindful that they’re not only bound by their current policies but also by this bill…. So they’ll have to be mindful in terms of any impacts that may have on, for example, discipline for an allegation of sexual misconduct.”
