Dear Mr. Flack,

On behalf of the 60,000 members of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), I would like to congratulate you on your appointment as Secretary of the Treasury Board.

PIPSC members, the majority of whom are employed by the federal government, include Information Technology Specialists, Scientists, Researchers, Nurses, Tax Auditors and a host of other professional public service employees. I am sure you will agree they have amply demonstrated their ongoing dedication and ability to deliver the key programs their fellow citizens depend on, despite the exceptional circumstances imposed by the pandemic.

As the new Institute President, I would like to suggest a meeting in the weeks ahead to discuss how we can work together to ensure that the federal public service continues serving all Canadians to the best of its ability.

Our staff will communicate with your office in this regard shortly.

I look forward to meeting you and to a continued positive and productive relationship between the Treasury Board and the Institute.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Carr
President,
The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada
