The federal auditor general says Canada's efforts to combat racism and discrimination in major departments and agencies are falling short. Auditor General Karen Hogan found in a report released Thursday that bureaucrats are failing to use data to understand how racialized employees are feeling.
The federal auditor general says Canada's efforts to combat racism and discrimination in major departments and agencies are falling short.This results in "missed opportunities" for change, the report says.
"Although the six organizations we audited have focused on the goal of assembling a workforce representative of Canadian society, it is only the first step," said Hogan. Only some of them examined survey results or data on representation, promotion and retention. Even then, those evaluations were happening in silos rather than as part of a big-picture look at how employees were faring.
About one-fifth of employees in the core public service identified as a member of a visible minority as of last year. The report says that in all six departments and agencies, results from the Public Service Employee Survey from 2018 to 2020 found that people who identified as members of visible minority groups were more likely to say they faced discrimination on the job.'Boorish and rude': Conservatives heckle House Speaker during speech on ills of hecklingCanada promised to stop exporting unwanted plastic waste.
