situation of target group members with non‑target group members within a government institution and with their counterparts
in the general labour market. The Personal Record Identifier (PRI) may be used to link information in this bank with that in
another bank containing employee information (e.g., the Personnel Management Information System) in order to obtain statistical
information, where the securing of such information would be consistent with the uses for which the personal information was
collected. Self‑identification information may be obtained from the departmental records as described in Staffing
translation required (PSE 902).
Consistent Uses: The department may collect data for statistical purposes, for purposes relating to individuals, or for both.
Personal data are released to the Employment Equity Target Group Data Bank (TBS PCE 706) for statistical purposes only. The

eliminate systemic discrimination in employment and to introduce temporary special measures to ensure that target groups
participate in and are equitably represented in the federal public service. It may also be used for policy and planning purposes
related to employment equity.
