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.
