Shocking Internal Report Exposes Rampant Discrimination at the Head of Canada's Public Service

OTTAWA, July 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, the Coalition Against Workplace Discrimination released an internal report obtained through the Access to Information Act, which revealed blatant and widespread discrimination at the Privy Council Office (PCO). The federal government is Canada’s largest single employer, and it relies on the Privy Council Office to manage the public service, while also supporting the Prime Minister and the federal Cabinet. As such, the findings are extremely troubling, and a concern to all Canadians.

Through interviews with staff conducted over the course of six months, Dr. Rachel Zellars discovered a workplace where racial stereotyping, microaggressions, and verbal violence was regularly practiced and normalized, including at the executive level, and a culture that discouraged reporting, and lacked accountability mechanisms. Further, Dr. Zellars found that white employees and executives detailed career–advancing opportunities that were in stark contrast to those of Black, Indigenous, and racialized employees, who were clustered in temporary and lower–level positions.

In 2021, the then Clerk of the Privy Council, Ian Shugart, issued a Call to Action to public service leaders to take specific and meaningful actions to address racism, equity, and inclusion. But in the report, Black and racialized employees at PCO describe its Corporate Services department as a key barrier to that Call to Action.

The PCO provided the Coalition with an update on the steps they have taken since this report was released internally. While its list of initiatives show some attempt to implement the report’s recommendations, they lack the depth required to fully tackle the systemic issues identified, and there are still many key recommendations that have not been addressed.

The Coalition Against Workplace Discrimination is calling for:

  • The resignation of Deputy Clerk Natalie Drouin, who was responsible for the discrimination file since 2021; and the resignation of Assistant Secretary to the Cabinet, Ministerial Services and Corporate Affairs, Matthew Shea, the head of Corporate Services since 2017.
  • The federal government to appoint a Black Equity Commissioner to address systemic anti–Black racism across all levels of government (similar to the two representatives appointed to address Antisemitism and Islamophobia)
  • The federal government to establish a department of African Canadian Affairs to centralize and give priority anti–Black racism work.
  • The federal government to immediately implement the Employment Equity Act amendments it promised in December 2023, to add Black Canadians as an employment equity group.
  • The federal government to provide restitution to Black public sector workers who have launched a class action lawsuit based on years of discrimination, as identified in multiple federal reports.

QUOTES

“It is shocking that this level of blatant discrimination occurred in one of Canada’s highest offices. Once again, those who have been perpetrators of discrimination are being tasked with implementing change. This approach has consistently failed, and it’s time for real arms–length accountability mechanisms, and structural changes to meaningfully address anti–Black discrimination.” Nicholas Marcus Thompson, President, Black Class Action Secretariat.

“This report underscores the urgent need for the federal government to immediately table the Employment Equity Act amendments, in line with the Task Force's recommendations. Additionally, the government must swiftly settle the class action filed by Black public service workers to address the systemic discrimination they have endured.” Larry Rousseau, Executive Vice President, Canadian Labour Congress.

“As representatives of professionals working within PCO, we are outraged that such discriminatory practices have been allowed to persist. It is clear that significant, structural changes are urgently needed to create a fair and inclusive workplace for all employees. The federal government must act decisively to implement the necessary reforms and ensure accountability at all levels.” Nathan Prier, President, Canadian Association of Professional Employees.

ABOUT:
The Coalition Against Workplace Discrimination consists of: The Black Class Action Secretariat (BCAS), the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), The Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE), the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE), the Canadian Black Nurses Alliance (CBNA), The Enchanté Network, the Red Coalition, the Federation of Black Canadians (FBC), 613–819 Black Hub, the Black Canadians Civil Society Coalition (BCCSC). The Coalition previously highlighted discrimination at the Canadian Human Rights Commission, which is currently being investigated by an international accreditation body.

Un rapport interne choquant révèle une discrimination rampante à la tête de la fonction publique canadienne

OTTAWA, 29 juill. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aujourd'hui, la Coalition contre la discrimination en milieu de travail a publié un rapport interne obtenu grâce à la Loi sur l'accès à l'information, qui révèle une discrimination flagrante et généralisée au Bureau du Conseil privé (BCP). Le gouvernement fédéral est le plus grand employeur au Canada et il dépend du Bureau du Conseil privé pour gérer la fonction publique, tout en soutenant le Premier ministre et le Cabinet fédéral. Par conséquent, les conclusions de ce rapport sont extrêmement préoccupantes et concernent tous les Canadiens.

Grâce à des entretiens avec le personnel menés sur une période de six mois, la Dre Rachel Zellars a découvert un lieu de travail où les stéréotypes raciaux, les microagressions et la violence verbale étaient régulièrement pratiqués et normalisés, y compris au niveau exécutif, et une culture qui décourageait les signalements et manquait de mécanismes de responsabilisation. De plus, la Dre Zellars a constaté que les employés et cadres blancs bénéficiaient d'opportunités de progression de carrière qui étaient en contraste frappant avec celles des employés noirs, autochtones et racialisés, qui étaient regroupés dans des postes temporaires et de niveau inférieur.

En 2021, l'ancien greffier du Conseil privé, Ian Shugart, a lancé un appel à l'action aux dirigeants de la fonction publique pour qu'ils prennent des mesures spécifiques et significatives pour lutter contre le racisme, l'équité et l'inclusion. Mais dans le rapport, les employés noirs et racialisés du BCP décrivent son département des services généraux comme un obstacle majeur à cet appel à l'action.

Le BCP a fourni à la Coalition une mise à jour sur les mesures qu'ils ont prises depuis la publication interne de ce rapport. Bien que leur liste d'initiatives montre une tentative d'implémentation des recommandations du rapport, elles manquent de la profondeur nécessaire pour s'attaquer pleinement aux problèmes systémiques identifiés, et de nombreuses recommandations clés n'ont toujours pas été abordées.

La Coalition contre la discrimination en milieu de travail demande :

  • La démission de la sous–greffière Natalie Drouin, responsable du dossier de la discrimination depuis 2021, et la démission du secrétaire adjoint du Cabinet, Services ministériels et affaires corporatives, Matthew Shea, à la tête des services généraux depuis 2017.
  • Le gouvernement fédéral doit nommer un commissaire à l'équité pour les Noirs afin de s'attaquer au racisme anti–Noirs systémique à tous les niveaux du gouvernement (similaire aux deux représentants nommés pour lutter contre l'antisémitisme et l'islamophobie).
  • Le gouvernement fédéral doit établir un département des affaires afro–canadiennes pour centraliser et prioriser le travail contre le racisme anti–Noirs.
  • Le gouvernement fédéral doit immédiatement mettre en œuvre les amendements à la Loi sur l'équité en matière d'emploi qu'il a promis en décembre 2023, pour ajouter les Canadiens noirs comme groupe d'équité en matière d'emploi.
  • Le gouvernement fédéral doit fournir une restitution aux travailleurs noirs du secteur public qui ont lancé un recours collectif basé sur des années de discrimination, comme l'ont identifié de nombreux rapports fédéraux.

CITATIONS

« Il est choquant que ce niveau de discrimination flagrante se soit produit dans l'un des bureaux les plus élevés du Canada. Encore une fois, ceux qui ont été les auteurs de la discrimination sont chargés de mettre en œuvre le changement. Cette approche a constamment échoué, et il est temps d'avoir de véritables mécanismes de responsabilisation indépendants et des changements structurels pour s'attaquer de manière significative à la discrimination anti–Noirs. » Nicholas Marcus Thompson, Président, Secrétariat recours collectif noir (SRCN).

« Ce rapport souligne l'urgence pour le gouvernement fédéral de déposer immédiatement les amendements à la Loi sur l'équité en matière d'emploi, conformément aux recommandations du groupe de travail. De plus, le gouvernement doit régler rapidement le recours collectif déposé par les travailleurs noirs de la fonction publique pour s'attaquer à la discrimination systémique qu'ils ont subie. » Larry Rousseau, Vice–président exécutif, Congrès du travail du Canada.

« En tant que représentants des professionnels travaillant au sein du BCP, nous sommes outrés que de telles pratiques discriminatoires aient été autorisées à persister. Il est clair que des changements structurels significatifs et urgents sont nécessaires pour créer un lieu de travail juste et inclusif pour tous les employés. Le gouvernement fédéral doit agir de manière décisive pour mettre en œuvre les réformes nécessaires et assurer la responsabilisation à tous les niveaux. » Nathan Prier, Président, Association canadienne des employés professionnels.

La Coalition contre la discrimination en milieu de travail est composée de : Secrétariat recours collectif noir (SRCN), l'Alliance de la Fonction publique du Canada (AFPC), l'Association canadienne des employés professionnels (ACEP), le Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique (SCFP), l'Alliance des infirmières noires canadiennes (AINC), le Réseau Enchanté, la Coalition Rouge, la Fédération des Canadiens noirs (FCN), 613–819 Black Hub, la Coalition de la société civile des Canadiens noirs (CSCCN).

Canada Under Investigation by UN Partner for Anti-Black Discrimination

TORONTO, June 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a landmark decision, the international body that hands out human rights accreditations has concluded that there is enough basis to review Canada’s “A” status – an unprecedented move that puts it among the ranks of countries like Russia, Iraq, and Venezuela.

The Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) — a United Nations partner — has launched a “Special Review” of the accreditation of the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC). This comes as the result of a complaint by a coalition of Canadian human rights organizations, which submitted federal findings of anti–Black discrimination at the Canadian Human Rights Commission as evidence.

Despite admitting to human rights violations, the Canadian government is currently vying for a seat in the United Nations Human Rights Council from 2028–2030, with a vote happening in 2026.

“With this international review, the Canadian government is now on notice,” says Nicholas Marcus Thompson, with the Black Class Action Secretariat, the coalition lead. “It cannot claim to be a global leader in human rights, while discriminating against its own at home.”

If the international body finds there are grounds to downgrade the CHRC to “B” status, for the first time ever, it will no longer have independent participation rights at the UN Human Rights Council, its subsidiary bodies, and some General Assembly bodies and mechanisms. Further, it will lose the right to vote and hold governance positions at GANHRI.

“The implications of this decision are very serious as Canada has never had its status reviewed in its more than 30 years as a GANHRI member,” says Ketty Nivyabandi, Secretary General for Amnesty International Canada. “We urge the Canadian government and the Commission to take all necessary measures to guarantee the integrity of the Commission and its critical role for Canadians.”

In line with the International Decade for People of African Descent, the coalition is calling for:

  • JUSTICE: Creating a properly funded direct–access model to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (removing CHRC’s role as a gatekeeper with the power to dismiss claims before they reach the Tribunal)
  • RECOGNITION: Expediting Employment Equity Act amendments to include Black people as an employment equity group.
  • DEVELOPMENT: Appointing a Black Equity Commissioner to address discrimination in the public service.

BACKGROUND INFO:

On Feb 26, 2024, a coalition of human rights organizations submitted a complaint to the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI).

The coalition consists of: The Black Class Action Secretariat (BCAS), the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE), the Canadian Black Nurses Alliance (CBNA), The Enchanté Network, the Red Coalition, the Federation of Black Canadians (FBC), 613–819 Black Hub, the Black Canadians Civil Society Coalition (BCCSC) and The Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE)

The group provided as evidence: the findings of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat's and the Senate Human Rights Committee's findings of anti–black discrimination.

The complaint highlighted: violations to international human rights laws, and the Paris Principles, internationally agreed upon minimum standards which member human rights institutions are required to adhere to.

The Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) is one of the largest human rights networks worldwide, representing more than 110 National Human rights institutions. It is a recognised, and trusted partner, of the United Nations. GANHRI’s Sub–Committee on Accreditation is responsible for reviewing and accrediting national human rights institutions in compliance with the Paris Principles. The SCA met March 26–28 and published its report and recommendations on June 7, 2024. It decided to initiate a review of Iraq and Canada.

Canada has been a member of GAHNRI since its inception in 1993, through the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Its last accreditation review period was from 2016–2022, with its next review slated for 2027. This unprecedented “Special Review”, which Canada has never been subject to in its member history, will investigate the five year period preceding its most recent “A” status accreditation in 2022.

GANHRI members are reviewed every 5 years. As of December 2023, GANHRI is composed of 120 members: 88 “A” status accredited NHRIs and 32 “B” status accredited NHRIs.

There are currently two levels of accreditation:
Status “A” (Fully compliant with the Paris Principles): Institutions participate fully in the international and regional work and meetings of national institutions as voting members, and they can hold office in the Bureau of the International Coordinating Committee or any sub–committee the Bureau establishes. They are also able to participate in sessions of the Human Rights Council and take the floor under any agenda item, submit documentation and take up separate seating.
Status “B” (Partially compliant with the Paris Principles): Institutions may participate as observers in the international and regional meetings of the national human rights institutions. They cannot vote or hold office with the Bureau or its sub–committees. They are not given NHRIs badges, nor may they take the floor under agenda items and submit documentation to the Human Rights Council.

Countries that have previously been under Special Review: Burundi, Madagascar, Nigeria, Chile, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Indonesia, Jordan, Nepal, Great Britain, Panama, Venezuela, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Russia, Iraq.

Special Review Process and timeline: GANHRI will conduct Canada’s Special Review in the fall of 2024, with a decision in the ensuing months. It will examine the five year period from 2016–2022 that led to its most recent “A” status accreditation. If Canada is downgraded to “B” status, it will no longer have independent participation rights at the UN Human Rights Council, its subsidiary bodies and some General Assembly bodies and mechanisms, and will lose the right to vote and hold governance positions at GANHRI.
