Black, Indigenous and racialized employees in the Privy Council Office are regularly subjected to a culture of "racial stereotyping, microagressions and verbal violence," according to the findings of an internal report.

The damning report — obtained by the Coalition Against Workplace Discrimination through the Access to Information Act and released by the coalition Monday — said the office does not have a grasp on the scope or impact of the discrimination that those employees face.

There are also "significant material barriers to meaningful representation and inclusion" in the workplace, it says.

The Privy Council Office's 1,200 employees make up the lead branch of the civil service, providing support for the prime minister and cabinet in executing policy directives across the federal government.
