Supplementary tables
Gender-based analysis plus
| Governance structures | In 2020-2021, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) will develop a plan for the implementation of Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) and will formalised its associated governance structure. |
|---|---|
| Human resources | 0.25 FTE As a small organization, the OPC does not have resources specifically dedicated to GBA+. A champion, two co-champions, and a small working group will advance work on this initiative on an ad hoc basis. |
| Planned initiatives | Over the next year, the Office intends to raise awareness among its employees of the importance of integrating GBA+ into its work, increase the availability of training and explore ways to monitor GBA+ progress. |
| Reporting capacity and data | It is currently too early for the OPC to list all programs that will collect and maintain sufficient micro data information to undertake GBA+. Given the unique mandate of the OPC and our advice to government departments to limiting information collection to what is strictly necessary for programs to be administered, the OPC will have to carefully assess and determine when and how GBA+ data collection and analysis will occur. No reports will be produced in 2020-21. |

Although the OPC is not bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act and is not required to develop a full departmental sustainable development strategy, the OPC adheres to the principles of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) by complying with the Policy on Green Procurement. The Policy on Green Procurement supports the Government of Canada’s effort to promote environmental stewardship. In keeping with the objectives of the policy, the OPC supports sustainable development by integrating environmental performance considerations into the procurement decision making process through the actions described in the 2019 to 2022 FSDS “Greening Government” goal. |
| Commitments | The OPC supports transition to a low-carbon economy by taking environmental considerations into account when making procurement decisions. To this end, the OPC’s green procurement plans in support of the 2019 to 2022 FSDS “Greening Government” goal can be found in the following table entitled: FSDS goal: Greening Government. |
| Integrating sustainable development | The OPC will continue to ensure that its decision-making process includes consideration of FSDS goals and targets. |
