Employment Equity Legislation: Senator Donald Oliver

Conservative Senator Dept: Some might suggest we've done enough at this point to help visible minorities and the other targeted groups – women, aboriginal people and people with disabilities – achieve equity in the work place. Have we?, according to Globe And Mail. Why do you think that is and conservative Senator Donald Oliver has worked tirelessly for the cause of employment equity. He says progress has been made, but there's still a long way to go, particularly for visible minorities. Of the four groups targeted by employment-equity legislation, visible minorities are the only group whose representation in the federal public service falls below its level of availability in the work force. We have definitely not done enough. There's an awful lot more to be done for all four targeted groups, particularly visible minorities. Of the four groups, visible minorities are at the bottom of the heap. As reported in the news.
