Data on the proportion of executive employees in the public service who are women for 2021-22 is not currently available. Such data will be reported in the 2021–22 annual report about employment equity in the public service of Canada.

In 2021‒22, TBS continued to help to achieve gender equality, including by leading the implementation of the recently passed Pay Equity Act in the core public administration and in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Global indicator: 10.3.1 Proportion of population reporting having personally felt discriminated against or harassed in the previous 12 months on the basis of a ground of discrimination prohibited under international human rights law

• supporting the amendment of the Public Service Employment Act to address systemic barriers to equity-seeking groups in staffing
• co-developing, with equity‑seeking groups, the Maturity Model on Diversity and Inclusion, which is to be used as a self-assessment tool to help departments:
• identify their level of maturity related to diversity and inclusion across five dimensions
• decide on tangible actions they can take to improve their level of maturity
• monitor their progress
• supporting departments in increasing the diversity of their senior leadership through the Mentorship Plus Program and the Executive Leadership Development Program
• helping departments implement the new Directive on the Prevention and Resolution of Workplace Harassment and Violence

Canadian indicator: Proportion of new light‑duty vehicle sales that are zero-emission vehicles

In 2021‒22, 10.7% (3.4% ZEV, 7.3% HEV) of the Government of Canada’s light-duty fleet vehicles and 72.2% (27.8% ZEV, 44.4% HEV) of the Government of Canada’s new purchases of light-duty fleet vehicles were zero-emission vehicles or hybrids. The government’s target is to have zero-emission vehicles comprise 100% of its light-duty fleet by 2030.

TBS contributed to sustainable consumption and production patterns by:

• reviewing departmental investment plans to make sure they align with greening objectives
• making departmental reporting on waste diversion and water use mandatory as of 2022–23
• working with Public Services and Procurement Canada to obtain renewable power in places where electricity production produces higher levels of carbon emissions

Global target: 13.1 Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries

Global indicator: 13.2.2 Total greenhouse gas emissions per year

Canadian target: By 2030, reduce Canada’s total greenhouse gas emissions by 30%, relative to 2005 levels.

Canadian ambition: Canadians are resilient and well-equipped to face the effects of climate change

In 2021‒22, the level of overall government greenhouse gas emissions was 38.4% below 2005 levels. The target is to reduce them by 40% below 2005 levels by 2025.

TBS contributed to the fight against climate change by leading and supporting departments in implementing the Greening Government Strategy, including:

• working with departments to make sure new builds and major retrofit projects minimized the greenhouse gas emitted over the full life cycle of the project, including issuing guidance on assessing and improving the resilience of buildings
• making it easier for departments to adopt low‑carbon forms of transportation
• introducing mandatory reporting for departments on actions they have taken to make their assets, services and operations more resilient to the impacts of climate change

In 2021‒22, the Government of Canada published 1,991 new datasets, exceeding its target of publishing 1,000 new datasets.

Overall, TBS made more information and data available to Canadians by improving the Open Government Portal:

• TBS increased the holdings on the portal to roughly 33,000 datasets and records and 1.8 million publications from about 160 federal institutions
• TBS continued to consult with departments on expanding access
• TBS optimized key pages and added features based on user feedback
