Employment Equity
The Public Service of Canada is committed to the principle of merit and to ensuring equitable participation of women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and members of visible minority groups. Information in section 30 of the application form is collected under the authority of the Employment Equity Act, section 9, and its confidentiality is protected under the Privacy Act. Your response to the questions is voluntary, and may be used both for statistical purposes and in considering you for programs that help in creating a more representative public service. For persons with disabilities, it will also help to ensure the provision of appropriate accommodations.
Note: A person may be a member of more than one designated employment equity group.
Gender
This information will help us to ensure equality of access for both men and women to all positions in the Federal Public Service.
