Harassment Prevention and Resolution
Policy
The CF and DND affirm that a work environment that fosters teamwork and encourages individuals to contribute their best effort in order to achieve Canada's defence objectives is essential. Mutual trust, support and respect for the dignity and rights of every person are essential characteristics of this environment. Not only is harassment in certain forms against the law, but it erodes mutual confidence and respect for individuals and leads to a poisoned work environment. As a result, operational effectiveness, productivity, team cohesion and morale are placed at risk.

Definition of Harassment
Harassment is any improper conduct by an individual that is directed at and offensive to another person or persons in the workplace and which the individual knew or ought reasonably to have known would cause offence or harm. It comprises any objectionable act, comment or display that demeans, belittles or causes personal humiliation or embarrassment, or any act of intimidation or threat. It includes harassment within the meaning of the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA).

Abuse of authority: Where harassment involves misuse of the power and authority inherent in an individual's position, it constitutes an abuse of authority. Conduct involving the proper exercise of responsibilities or authority related to the provision of advice, the assignment of work, counselling, performance evaluation, discipline, and other supervisory/leadership functions does not constitute harassment. Similarly, the proper exercise of responsibilities or authority related to situations where, by virtue of law, military rank, civilian classification, or appointment, an individual has authority or power over another individual does not constitute harassment.

12. Serve in a Diverse Army Racist Conduct Policy
The CF is committed to the principle of equality of all people, and the dignity and worth of every human being, without regard to, among other things, race, national or ethnic origin, colour or religion. CF members must always be guided by this principle in their relationships with each other, with members of the public, and with all those with whom they come in contact both within and outside Canada.

13. Serve in a Diverse Army Racist Conduct
Racist attitudes are totally incompatible with the military ethos and with effective military service, and any conduct that reflects such attitudes will not be tolerated. Racist conduct is therefore prohibited, and will result in administrative action, disciplinary action, or both, and may include release. An applicant for enrolment in the CF who is unable or unwilling to comply with the CF policy against racist conduct will not be enrolled.

14. Serve in a Diverse Army Racist Conduct Definition
Racist conduct means conduct that promotes, encourages or constitutes discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, colour or religion, including participation in the activities of, or membership in, a group or organization that a CF member knows, or ought to know, promotes discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, colour or religion.

15. Serve in a Diverse Army Racist Conduct Impact on the CF
Racist conduct is prohibited because it impairs military effectiveness by:
eroding cohesion and esprit de corps;
impairing the ability of Service members to treat others fairly and impartially;
creating an impression with the public of Canada and other nations that the CF cannot be relied upon to perform peacekeeping and other international commitments, or to provide assistance to Canadian authorities in handling internal disputes fairly and impartially without regard to the race, national or ethnic origin, colour or religion of the parties involved.

16. Serve in a Diverse Army Racist Conduct
In addition, membership or participation in the activities of a racist group or organization reflects adversely on the loyalty and reliability of a CF member, and may jeopardize the security of CF personnel and materiel.
