In order to accommodate sex- and gender-diverse Canadians, the Treasury Board Secretariat of Canada and the Department of Justice are implementing a government-wide policy to modernize sex and gender information practices and to begin offering at least three gender options on all practices, databases and products. Information contained within this report includes gender data sourced from forms or databases outside of the PBC that may be more closely aligned to sex at birth as work to update gender collection practices is under development across government.
