1. 1. Public Service Employee survey

Just a heads up that the PSES was contracted out by TBS and that the PSES is not under STATs anymore and it was discovered that all the data resides with TBS.  They have the ability to drill down to try to find out who said what on the survey. There is a concern with data not being secured.

The COAT does not register the tech change to trigger action with the COAP.  We should be delegating someone who should be watching this and triggering action.
