Here's the rest of the article.

The new policy says the following types of treatment may indicate racial discrimination in work situations:

Exclusion from formal or informal networks.
Denial of mentoring or developmental opportunities such as secondments and training that was made available to others.
Differential management practices such as excessive monitoring and documentation or deviation from written policies or standard practices.
Disproportionate blame for an incident.
Assignment to less desirable positions or job duties.
Treating normal differences of opinion as confrontational or insubordinate.

Characterizing normal communication as rude or aggressive.
Penalizing a person for failing to get along with someone else, e.g. a co-worker or manager, when one of the reasons for the tension is racially discriminatory attitudes or behaviour of the co-worker or manager.
It retires the term "minority group" in favour of "racialized persons," a category that goes beyond skin colour and ethnic background.
"Racialization extends to people in general but also to specific traits and attributes, which are connected in some way to racialized people and are deemed to be 'abnormal' and of less worth,'" it says. "Individuals may have prejudices related to various racialized characteristics."

Those characteristics may include name, accent or manner of speech, clothing and grooming, diet, beliefs and practices, leisure preferences, places of origin and citizenship, it says.

Damn, substandard performers (or non performers) in the work place will love this law. "What do you mean you have five counseling statements on this guy for being late for work and sun standard job performance? AHH, you must be a racist." Never be able to fire em now.
