172A Special measures to achieve equality
Without limiting subsection 172(1), the matters mentioned in paragraph 172(1)(a) include special measures to achieve equality.
Note: A special measure to achieve equality may be a discriminatory term under section 195 (and thus be an unlawful term under section 194) to the extent that action that may be taken because of the term is unlawful under an anti‑discrimination law.
