The following questions collect information in accordance with the Employment Equity Act and its Regulations and Guidelines to support programs that promote equal opportunity for everyone to share in the social, cultural and economic life of Canada.
Responses to these questions about your background are voluntary and do not have an impact on the outcome of your nomination. We ask for information about your ancestry, gender and whether you have an ongoing disability to help us better understand the diversity represented in the Canadian Honours System. We look at the combined responses across all nominations and not at individual responses.
