One document from July 26 last year shows spots in 17 jobs were designated EE, meaning employment equity, and were therefore ‘accepting applications from females only’
Depending on the week and whether employment equity targets are being met, the Canadian Forces periodically closes some of its approximately 100 occupations or trades to any applicants but women.
Asked if the man would be told the occupation was still open for members of EE groups, Sabourin said no. And, he said, “Looking at our websites, it’s not clear” either that EE candidates may have the upper hand by dint of gender or ethnicity. He said that message would be clarified. Brig.-Gen. Virginia Tattersall, commander of what’s called “military personnel generation” and to whom Canadian Forces Recruiting Group reports, said Thursday in a phone interview that “notwithstanding what you may see marked on those sheets, and it may depend on the time of year , it honestly depends, I can categorically state that in no occupation will we only select from the EE group.
The PCL used to be what determined how applicants were prioritized, but now, as the sheets say, “PCL does not apply to EE applicants.” The goal, as the CF said in its response last April, is that by 2026, “women will make up 25%” of the CF population.
