My question is for Mr. Roots.
I read recently that 5.6% of public service employees have a disability. And, as we know, the public service is being downsized. Since most people with disabilities are employed under contract, the number of them working in the public service will likely drop even lower. By the way, people who are deaf make up 0.1% of the public service.
The government is supposed to lead by example, when it comes to the private sector. But given this situation, what can it do to improve its employment equity policy?
