Status of Women committee  I did bring that with me. I haven't stated it yet. The split was 31% for women and 25% for men.

Status of Women committee  Thank you.

Status of Women committee  On this particular survey there was no cut to funding from past cycles. It was sufficiently funded to run the census that I described. It will be up to the government to decide whether or not it wants to fund the next cycle in 2014, but the indication I have right now is that the client is very keen on running the survey once again in 2014.

Status of Women committee  Generally, no. We did look at the public service as a whole and how well distributed the responses were, and we saw no what would we call “risk of bias” in the data. You would have a problem, to use an extreme example, where no women answered the survey and it was all done by men.

Status of Women committee  Absolutely not.

Status of Women committee  Yes. It was introduced in 2002, so we have information for 2002, 2005, 2008, and 2011, which is four cycles of the survey.

Status of Women committee  I don't have that in front of me. We could pull that information for you, and for the committee, and provide it to you very shortly.

Status of Women committee  It doesn't apply to most employees of the federal public service, but if you worked, for example, at correctional services and you were the custodian for the prisoners within the facility, then you might experience some harassment from those for whom you are the custodian. That's the sort of employee who might be able to respond yes or no to that.

Status of Women committee  It's up to the manager. If in this example you've got someone who is in charge of a complaints department who sees that the results from the survey show that there's a high degree of harassment within that part of the organization, they might discount that and say that this is the way the employees feel as a result of the nature of their job.

Status of Women committee  No, we didn't ask that specifically on the survey. “Do you deal with complaints on a regular basis?”: that could be an example of a question that we could ask, but we didn't. You could get some clues from the survey, however. We did collect the information by department, by organizational unit, and by group and level of the employee.

Status of Women committee  There aren't exact figures on that, but the survey does have elements that can give us an idea of how many people are responsible for complaints of that nature.

Status of Women committee  Each department was provided with an analytical report. One was actually done by StatsCan but not as a part of my unit. I administer the survey. There is an analytical part of StatsCan that produced very nice reports for each department, and reports on each section of the survey.

Status of Women committee  No, they were not excluded. The RCMP was included fully in the survey.

Status of Women committee  The sorts of exclusions were people who were not at work during the time the survey was being run, people who are ministers' exempt staff, contractors working on behalf of the department within a department's premises. Those are the sorts of exclusions from the survey. It was quite broad in its targeting of employees within the federal government.

Status of Women committee  Yes. If you go to the website, there is information that shows a breakout of all the information, within the departments that are large enough, by age, by sex, and by visible minority status. That is very helpful information for the department trying to understand the issue of harassment in that workplace and who is affected more than others.
