Recommendation 3:
The Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General should ensure that sufficient authority is provided under the “Race-based” data legislation for the collection, access and use of race-based data to assess the progress of diversity measures undertaken by the Province in terms of People of African Descent membership of police forces and their leadership; and to assess operational activities such as street checks, arrests and detentions. Methodologies and data points used in public reports and engagements such as that of the Vancouver Police Department on this matter could be used as models and referents in drafting regulations.

Recommendation 91:
The Minister of Municipal Affairs should ensure that the “Race-based” data legislation provides resettlement service providers with sufficient room to collect and use contextual data to understand the number of People of African Descent that come to settle in the province, versus the number that eventually leave because they are not able to find the community or support systems they require to thrive. It is also recommended that the Province commission a study to understand the settlement patterns of People of African Descent in BC to establish clear baselines for assessment of its performance during the last 3 years of the Decade.

Recommendation 2:
Although this legislative approach is relatively new and untested, its potential for reducing the pay gap, contributing to poverty reduction, and helping other marginalized groups are all significant. Additionally, it approaches the issue in a way that pay transparency and pay equity do not, which ensures that pay discrimination against gender diverse people is identified and rectified. We recommend that this model, and the outcomes from its implementation in Iceland, continue to be studied and considered by policymakers. A pilot implementation period, where the equal pay standard is trialed in a select number of firms or government agencies, or establishing the equal pay standard as a voluntary certification that businesses can independently attain, would be the best ways to determine whether this policy is viable for BC. The BC government should consider consulting with business groups and labour unions about the design of a future equal pay certificate for the province. Such consultations were crucial for getting such a strenuous form of regulation passed in Iceland. These and other efforts to get all affected parties on board with the legislation will all contribute to making this policy more feasible in the future.
