This session will broadly cover issues relevant to Canadian general counsel around the rollback of DEI programs in the US following Executive Orders from President Trump. The session will focus on the ripple effect for Canadian companies (including Canadian subsidiaries of US parent companies) through the lens of governance, litigation risk, and legal compliance with Canadian law. It will serve as a refresher for both provincial and federal human rights obligations (and proactive programs) and the current state of employment equity legislation. The program will also address new concerns for employers including business immigration and employee travel, particularly for diverse employees.
