Liberals to make database of racial minorities to hire for government jobs
The federal government is seeking a contractor to create an "inventory" of black people and other racial minorities it can shuffle into deputy minister and assistant deputy minister positions.
A request for proposal on the federal government's procurement and tendering website lists the proposed contract's objective as being "to establish and maintain on an ongoing basis an inventory of qualified and interested Black people and other racialized groups, Indigenous people, as well as persons with disabilities, from outside the federal public service for the Government of Canada to consider for the Deputy Minister and Assistant Deputy Minister cadre."
The program is officially titled "Inventory of potential candidates representing employment equity groups for the Deputy Minister and Assistant Deputy Minister cadre."
