Employment and Social Development Canada

Upon taking office in February 2006, the Conservative government of Stephen Harper announced it would recombine the two departments, and through a series of orders in council, Social Development Canada was folded into HRSDC.This practice ended in late 2008 when the title was changed to "Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development."Concerns of privacy breaches and identity theft led to the filing of three class-action suits against the federal government on behalf of the affected students.The stated outcome of this investigation was to provide information to organizations and individuals to improve privacy protection.[7] After facing nine ongoing Federal Court challenges and the complaints of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops[8] in union with the Canadian Council of Christian Charities,[9] the requirement was rewritten and became a mandatory point for eligible projects and job activities, which must not "actively work to undermine or restrict a woman's access to sexual and reproductive health services".
