* <I><u>Ensure that gender diversity and inclusion is considered according to the Policy Direction to Modernize the Government of Canada’s Sex and Gender Information Practices. The government is moving toward defaulting to gender, sex by exception, and adding a third gender option in a respectful and inclusive manner. This involves making changes in the front end (collection) and the back end (coding, display). For collecting information, the recommended approach is to offer the options “male”, “female” or the third option of “another gender”. If there is a need for more specificity and the capacity for analysis, add a write in option labelled “Please Specify”. </I></u>
