Employment equity
The CRA remains subject to the Employment Equity Act (Department of Justice Canada Web site).
The Act has two key purposes:
- to achieve equality in the workplace
- to remove employment barriers for members of the four designated employment equity (EE) groups:
- Aboriginal peoples
- visible minorities
- persons with disabilities
- women.
The CRA is committed to the key principles of EE by striving to have:
- a workforce that reflects Canada's diverse population
- equal opportunities for advancement based on employees' competencies and knowledge.
Through active leadership and a supportive environment, the CRA has made EE an essential part of our human resources practices and the way we do business.
