The Departmental Results Framework (DRF) is the strategic view of Defence’s mandate, displaying its Core Responsibilities and key performance information. It represents the corporate framework used to demonstrate plans, achievements, expenditures and performance results. This helps Canadians and parliamentarians understand what we do, what we seek to achieve, and how we will determine if we have achieved it. This dataset presents DRF 3.3 entitled “The Defence team reflects the values and diversity of Canadian society” and its indicators (DRI) entitled: 3.3.2 “% of civilians in the Defence team who self-identify as a woman”, 3.3.4 “% of civilians in the Defence Team who self-identify as a visible minority” and 3.3.6 “% of civilians who self-identify as an indigenous person”.
The Department of National Defence (DND) has a legislative requirement to meet or exceed the workforce availability for the four designated Employment Equity (EE) groups: women, visible minorities, persons with disabilities and Indigenous persons. The Employment Equity Workforce Analysis Representation by Occupational Category and Group report provides data on DND’s workforce representation, the workforce availability for the specific EE group and the workforce gap by occupational group and level. DND also calculates the rate at which its employees choose to self-identify either as a member of an EE group, or not. This rate is calculated by DND upon receipt of requisite data from the Treasury Board Secretariat.
Note: The data from FY 2021-22 for DRIs 3.3.4 & 3.3.6 will be available during Fall 2022 and Fall 2023 respectively and will be updated accordingly.
