Maybe someone that has good knowledge of employee rights and legislation can answer this because my knowledge is pretty limited. It is my understanding, and I could be wrong on this, but an employer can not ask about an employee's gender, sexual orientation, races, etc. If that is true, how can a business really check the boxes accurately when submitting information to the city? Why should a business be put at the bottom of the list because of a low "social procurement score" if they don't honestly know their employees? What if a business suspects some employees are queer or First Nations and checks the boxes and then an audit is done by the city, how do they provide proof other than a statement that they believe it to be true?
