I. INTRODUCTION

[1] Ali Tahmoupour is a Muslim Canadian who was born in Iran. He had always dreamed of becoming a police officer.

[2] On July 12, 1999 he was given the opportunity to achieve his dreams. On that date he entered the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Training Academy in Regina, Saskatchewan (known as Depot). On October 20, 1999, Mr. Tahmourpour’s training contract was terminated prior to completion of the program. Mr. Tahmourpour believes that the termination of his training contract was the culmination of three months of harassment and discrimination on the basis of his race, religion and ethnic or national origin.

[3] Mr. Tahmourpour filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission (the Commission) on March 21, 2001 alleging violations of sections 7 and 14 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
