Latest revision as of 09:30, 7 October 2024
On December 11, 2023, the Minister of Labour announced the Employment Equity Act Review Task Force’s final report: A Transformative Framework to Achieve and Sustain Employment Equity, including the report’s executive summary. The report provides wide-ranging recommendations on how to modernize and strengthen employment equity in the federal jurisdiction.
This arms-length Task Force engaged with hundreds of partners and stakeholders, including community organizations, public, private, and non-profit sectors, as well as advocacy groups and networks. The Labour Program is now seeking to re-engage with affected communities, unions, organizations, and employers to understand and refine how to effectively implement changes to the Act, including the federal public service. Legislation will be introduced at a later date.
A renewed Act that reflects today’s realities will help create a more vibrant and diverse workforce. More importantly, it will help build a country where everyone has a fair and equal chance to reach their full potential.
Engagement sessions focused on four themes:
- Updating the purpose, designated groups and collection of survey data;
- Supporting employees and employers;
- Strengthening accountability, compliance, and enforcement; and
- Improving public reporting.
"What We Heard" report
The Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (OCHRO) prepared a "What We Heard" Report/ Word format to summarize the feedback received through engagement sessions with equity-seeking networks, which was submitted to the Labour Program.
