Members are not comfortable asking for training to maintain certification and qualifications. Joanne and Gerry met with the SH group yesterday. There is an issue with language being applied within different departments. It will be brought to the Bargaining round table. The president of the subgroup thinks the survey would be a valuable tool. Thomas would like to have a discussion on how to improve the relationship between PIPSC and national/professional certification bodies.
