Another issue is the review of the Employment Equity Act, which is under way. Work was begun and then suspended due to the election, but resumed in January 2022.
The chair of the committee, which consists of a dozen people, is currently completing the report. We will soon have it and we hope to publish it sometime in 2023. This report will allow us to ascertain the status of employment equity, not only for women, but also for other groups designated in the act, such as persons with disabilities, indigenous communities, and visible minorities.
In the context of reviewing the act, amounts were presented in supplementary estimates (B). To move forward with this work, we are awaiting the report. We can then determine options for reviewing the act. The report is expected this spring, and we plan to publish it once it is available in both official languages.
