Gender-based analysis plus

General information
Institutional GBA+ Capacity
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) recognizes and supports the implementation of Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) across the Office.

In 2021-22, the OPC will continue advancing its examination of how to best incorporate GBA+ in its various processes and procedures by formally implementing its new framework and work plan.

As the GBA+ structure will be formally implemented over the next year, the OPC will continue to build its internal capacity, by launching customized GBA+ training and tools throughout the office to equip and enable employees to apply GBA+ to their work.
Highlights of GBA+ Results Reporting Capacity by Program
Protection of Privacy rights

As the OPC is still implementing a formal governance structure and developing tools surrounding the application of GBA+, it is currently too early for the OPC to list all programs that will collect and maintain sufficient data information to undertake GBA+.

The OPC is subject to the Privacy Act and must - just as it advises government departments to do - limit 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.
