The Canadian Aboriginal Science and Engineering Association is a private, non-profit organization, which seeks to significantly increase the number of Aboriginal scientists and engineers in the nation and to develop technologically informed leasers within the Aboriginal community. CASEA's ultimate goal is to be catalyst for the advancement of Aboriginal peoples as they seek to become self-reliant and self-determined members of society. CESEA in partnership with the American Indian Science and Engineering Society begins working as early as elementary school through the development of science and math camps, teacher training and mentor ship programs to strengthen Aboriginal students’ educational background in math and science, and to prepare them for the academic pressures of post-secondary school life. At the college and university levels, scholarships will be developed and sought from corporate sponsors. Recruiting opportunities to further prepare Aboriginal students for successful science and engineering careers will be available through the CASEA contact network. Each CASEA student is asked to give back to the Aboriginal community after graduation; thus CASEA students become more than professionals in the technology field, they become architects of a new destiny for Aboriginal peoples. 3, record 15, English, - Canadian%20Aboriginal%20Science%20and%20Engineering%20Association

In 1999-2000, we continued our review of the impact of the RCMP [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] 's reorganization by conducting a study of the language requirement designations in New Brunswick. Based on a consultant's report, the RCMP decided to lower the language requirement for oral interaction for a number of constables’ positions from level C to level B, in order to ensure greater opportunities for advancement for constables who did not have level C. We concluded that this was contrary to section 91 of the [Official Languages] Act, which states that the language requirements of a position must be determined in an objective manner based on the real needs of service to the public and the language of work alone. 1, record 17, English, - language%20requirement%20designation

Nous avons poursuivi en 1999-2000 notre examen de l'impact de la réorganisation de la GRC [Gendarmerie royale du Canada] en menant une étude sur la désignation des exigences linguistiques au Nouveau-Brunswick. En se basant sur le rapport d'un consultant, la GRC avait décidé d'abaisser l'exigence relative à l'interaction orale de plusieurs postes de gendarme du niveau «C», au niveau «B» afin d'assurer de plus grandes chances d'avancement aux gendarmes ne possédant pas le niveau «C». Nous avons conclu que cela allait à l'encontre de l'article 91 de la Loi [sur les langues officielles] qui établit que les exigences d'un poste doivent être déterminées de façon objective selon les besoins reliés au service au public et à la langue de travail uniquement. 1, record 17, French, - d%C3%A9signation%20des%20exigences%20linguistiques

In 1996 the Committee for the Advancement of Native Employees(CANE) proposed the creation of a program to develop high-potential Aboriginal/Inuit employees in the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development(DIAND) for future acting appointments at the executive level. The result was the establishment of the Aboriginal Management Executive Development(AMED) program. The program offers the potential for internal upward movement of DIAND's Aboriginal/Inuit employees who occupy upper middle management level positions. While providing developmental opportunities, this program is key in improving Aboriginal/Inuit representation in DIAND at the executive level. 1, record 22, English, - Aboriginal%20Management%20Executive%20Development
