 Dear Members,

 I am seeking your support for re-election as Vice-President. The year 2020 will go down for all of us as one to remember. The pandemic has put a major brake on all forms of union organization. The enjoyment of meeting with members in person is now replaced with virtual meetings, email messages, telephone calls, etc.

I had the pleasure of representing members at official and unofficial events, discussing and debating issues and listening to concerns.

During the last round of bargaining, I focused on the essential services file.

I would love to continue the work we started to safeguard our interests and protect our collective agreement.
I had the privilege of acting as Classification Officer and Sub-Group Officer and working on the generic job description and a new definition of the Group, as well as proudly attending the CS Sub-Group Presidents’ Annual General Meeting.

My activities within the union, Annual General Meetings (PIPSC, CS Group), Regional Councils and Stewards Council have given me a platform to speak out [on issues] that sometimes do not go unnoticed. [sic]

I enjoy representing the Group and championing its interests before the Institute’s Advisory Council.
For the last two years I have been an active member of the Shared Service Consultation Team for the National Capital Region. While it isn’t always easy sailing, we must do our utmost to defend members’ interests.

As opposed to the private sector, I am a strong believer in the public sector. I also believe that as public servants, we should always strive to deliver the best possible services.

THANK YOU!
