"The Report on Equality Rights of Aboriginal People presents a national portrait of Aboriginal peoples compared to non-Aboriginal peoples based on the seven dimensions of well-being widely considered critical from an equality rights perspective. The seven dimensions of well-being are economic well-being, education, employment, health, housing, justice and safety, and political and social inclusion. This report brings together existing data from an equality rights perspective. The purpose of the report is to document the status of Aboriginal peoples with respect to their well-being. It is not a 'report card,' nor an evaluation of Canada's performance"--Introduction.
