Canadian Human Rights Commission Quarterly Financial Report - For the quarter ended December 31, 2023

24 Apr 2024

The Commission leads the administration of the CHRA and works with employers to ensure compliance with the Employment Equity Act (EEA). [...] Under the leadership of the Pay Equity Commissioner and the Accessibility Commissioner, the Commission is also responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Pay Equity Act (PEA) and the Accessible Canada Act (ACA). [...] The accompanying Statement of Authorities includes the Commission’s spending authorities granted by Parliament and those used by the Commission, consistent with the Main Estimates, Supplementary Estimates and Treasury Board vote transfers for the 2023-24 fiscal year. [...] Risks and uncertainties The addition of new mandates under the Accessible Canada Act, the Pay Equity Act, and the National Housing Strategy increases the pressure on the delivery of all programs within the Commission. [...] In addition, if the Commission is unable to secure the funding necessary to mitigate the recent significant reduction in funding for the housing program, the effective implementation of the National Housing Strategy Act will be severely affected.
