67[238] The Tribunal has referred in this decision to the Accommodation Guidelines and hasdetermined that the managers and supervisors have failed to follow this policy in theComplainant’s case. Having reviewed the evidence, the Tribunal concludes that CHRC’s requestis justified.[239] The Tribunal therefore orders CN to work with the CHRC to ensure that thediscriminatory practice and behaviour does not continue and to make sure:a) that the appropriate policies, practices and procedures are in place, andb) that CN, in consultation with the CHRC, retains appropriate persons to conductworkplace training for managers, human resource staff, CMC employees and anyother employees deemed necessary on issues of discrimination and human rightsand particularly on accommodation on the ground of family status.2010 CHRT 22 (CanLII)(ii) Reinstatement[240] The Complainant seeks an order, pursuant to s. 53(2)(b) of the CHRA, directing CN toreturn her to her employment as a Conductor.

The Tribunal does not accept this as an appropriate date
