to Colour of Change Network

Colour of Change Network members and supporters - here's another opportunity - next Tuesday November 10, 2020 - to push Minister McKenna - for strong Employment Equity legislation - federally, as well as provincially, territorially, municipally - frameworks that are -

- restored ( federally )
- comprehensive
- expanded - Indigenous Peoples, peoples of colour, women, persons with (dis)abilities AND 2SLGBTQ+ individuals
- appropriately and consistently disaggregated in their implementation and application
- resourced
- monitored, AND
- enforced

As we "build back better" we can realise this critical policy objective through -

- adding "employment equity" consistent obligations and conditionality to all economic recovery, social and physical infrastructure investments and financial transfers
- legislated employment equity regimes
- community benefit agreements (CBA's) which include employment equity obligations and requirements, AND
- fair and equitable public procurement contractor provisions

- other !?

Free Virtual Event: The Honourable Catherine McKenna

Canada's Minister of Infrastructure & Communities

"Resilience and Regeneration: Building out of a Pandemic and into a More Inclusive Low-Carbon Economy"

The most devastating global pandemic in a century is more than a health crisis. It has damaged economies, cost jobs and widened existing social inequalities. But it has also illustrated the strength of Canada’s communities, the critical importance of resolute government action, and our willingness to help one another build back better. Smart public infrastructure investments create good jobs, help people and neighbourhoods most in need, and build sustainable, resilient communities for the low-carbon economy of the 21st Century.

Join Canadian Club Toronto on November 10 as the Honourable Catherine McKenna takes our podium to discuss this and other topics from her portfolio.

This event is free of charge. You will receive the access link on the morning of the event.
