The Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), which oversees public-private partnerships for infrastructure projects, was also assessed. The committee emphasized the importance of these agencies ensuring equitable representation in their employment and operations in line with federal character principles.

The committee reiterated that all agencies must comply with these principles to ensure fairness and inclusivity across the federal system. Recommendations will be issued, and further actions will follow based on the findings from these reviews.
