The Financial Post reports in its Tuesday edition that Ottawa launched a new pay transparency website Friday to better illustrate how minorities and women are represented and paid at federally regulated private sector employers. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post says that the new site, called Equi'vision, provides a visualization that allows users to compare data on work force representation rates and pay gaps experienced by all four groups. The data can be searched based on employers, sectors or locations. Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan billed the tool as a way to shine a light on where gaps in employment can be reduced and representation improved. The data come from figures submitted by federally regulated private sector employers with 100 or more employees as part of their annual reporting under the Employment Equity Act. In the banking sector, the tool shows that indigenous people comprise just 1.5 per cent of employees while representing 4 per cent of the population in Canada. For TD Bank, that number drops to 1.1 per cent; 1.3 per cent for Royal Bank; 1.4 per cent for BMO and 1.5 per cent for the Bank of Canada. CIBC has the highest indigenous representation among the major domestic banks, at 3.1 per cent.
