Laws in French and English, Department of Justice, http://laws.justice.gc.ca, Canada (PDF - Consolidated up to 14/12/2011) (consulted on 2011-02-08)
Aims to provide equality in the workplace so that no person shall be denied employment opportunities and to correct conditions of disadvantage in employment experienced by women, aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities (s. 2). Applies to private sector employers and specified portions of the public service (s. 4). Employers shall identify and eliminate employment barriers against persons in designated groups and institute policies which ensure that designated groups achieve a degree of representation in the workforce. The measures do not require the employer to hire unqualified persons or create new positions (s. 6). Section 7 provides that if an employer is engaged primarily in serving aboriginal peoples, he or she may give preference to hiring aboriginal peoples, unless this would constitute a discriminatory practice under the Canadian Human Rights Act. Employers shall prepare an employment equity plan setting forth measures which will be taken to correct any deficiencies in the representation of designated groups (s. 10). S. 18 requires every private sector employer to file an annual report detailing the number of persons from designated groups represented in the workforce, as well as their salaries and occupational groups. S. 21 requires a similar report from the President of the Treasury Board concerning employment of designated groups in the public service. Part II delegates power of enforcing the Act to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, and provides regulations thereto. Monetary penalties for violation of the Act are set forth in Part III.

Employment Equity Act
Canadian Labour Law Reporter, 1991, CCH Canadian Limited, Don Mills, Canada, Vol. 1, pp. 4751-4753
The purpose of this Act is to achieve equality in the work place so that no person shall be denied employment opportunities or benefits for reasons unrelated to ability and, in the fulfilment of that goal, to correct the conditions of disadvantage in employment experienced by women, aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and persons who are, because of their race or colour, in a visible minority in Canada, by giving effect to the principle that employment equity means more than treating persons in the same way but also requires special measures and the accommodation of differences.
Date of entry into force: 1985. Date of Initial Act
