2024-2025 Supplementary Information Tables - Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA Plus)

General information: Institutional GBA Plus Capacity

Governance

The Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (ORSCC) will be identifying and appointing a departmental GBA Plus champion during Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Capacity

Over 2023-24 Fiscal Year, a departmental GBA Plus draft plan and policy for the ORSCC was developed and is currently under review. As well, a GBA Plus draft tool is being developed, to be launched later in 2024. Several initiatives that impact GBA Plus were implemented including the updating of the departmental Accessibility Plan via an independent assessment that audited the organization for existing gaps and barriers to people with disabilities.

Highlights of GBA Plus results reporting by program

As it relates to the ORSCC’s Core Responsibility, which is “The administration of Canada’s final court of appeal” and the three following programs: “Administration of the Judges’ Act for the Judges of the Supreme Court of Canada”, “Court Administration” & “Internal Services”, the management team are in the process of reviewing and approving the first ORSCC GBA Plus Plan and Policy. As such, there has not been any collection of GBA Plus data to-date. However, a GBA Plus tool is being drafted, to be launched in the fall of 2024. It will consist of features that will help inform future measuring and reporting of the program’s impacts by gender and diversity.
