The Disaggregated Data Action Plan Accomplishments Report 2022-2023: Building on a solid foundation showcases progress made in the second year of the plan's implementation to support more representative data collection and enhanced statistics on diverse populations. The Disaggregated Data Action Plan (DDAP) is a whole-of-government approach led by Statistics Canada to strengthen the government's efforts to address systemic racism and gender gaps, leading to better and more equitable decision-making for all Canadians. Statistics Canada collected, analyzed, and disseminated more disaggregated data than we ever did before to better understand all Canadians and to help every Canadian to reach their full potential.

Engagement Initiative Objectives
The visible minority concept is currently under review. Statistics Canada is committed to engaging with partners, stakeholders, ethnocultural groups, and the general public to identify the appropriate terminology and categories to describe the population and properly address data needs in health, education, justice, and employment equity.
These consultative engagements on the Visible Minority Concept were conducted virtually with stakeholders and partners, ethnocultural groups, non profit and nongovernment organizations and researchers.
