Your friend has been operating a small chocolate

Your friend has been operating a small chocolate chip cookie making bakeshop out of their home in a rural location in Ontario. It is so successful (they even have international sales) that he has decided he needs to expand. With that expansion he has hired an additional 5 employees and plans to hire 25 more in the next 6 weeks. He knows how to make cookies but has no idea on how to deal with another aspect of business human resources. However, he knows that you are taking a course in Human Resources and so have lots of new-found knowledge to share with him. He comes to you for advice in the following areas so that he doesn't make any unintentional mistakes. REMEMBER to answer the questions based on this specific company's circumstances. Simple definition answers will result in a mark of 0. He has also come to you asking about the job ad. He wants to ensure that people know that they might have to work long hours and will be standing most of the time. Also, he believes that his clients prefer white, young people to wait on them. As well, his religion bans the consumption of alcohol, so he wants the same for his employees. For the qualifications portion of his job ad he has written: Must be physically fit, under 25, of Canadian origin, have no convictions for the consumption of alcohol, be of strong moral character and have limited family responsibilities. QUESTION. As a successful HR student you know this job ad wording has just violated 5 grounds of discrimination. What are they? Explain what they mean and how he has violated them
