        provides that other person with those goods, services or facilities;
        or

   (c)  in the manner in which the first-mentioned person provides that other
        person with those goods, services or facilities.

(2) Subsection (1) shall not apply to a person who discriminates against
another person with a disability if-

        unjustifiable hardship on the person who would have to provide those
        goods, services or facilities; and
