Recent announcements about the possible transfer of workload from CRA to Revenu Québec have created an atmosphere of uncertainty for many of our dedicated AFS members.
We are proud of our AFS members who have the knowledge and experience to address international, scientific research and development, tax avoidance and other complex tax matters.
DATE: June 4th, 2018
WHERE: Dooly’s (275 Main Street, Fredericton)

All Fredericton Branch members are cordially invited by the Fredericton Branch Executive as well as the Atlantic Young Professionals Committee Fredericton Representatives to join us for our Pool and Learn Night.

Pizza, refreshments and activities (pool etc.) will be provided by the Fredericton Branch Executive.
Calling all Millennials…and all “millennials at heart!” The Ottawa West Branch (in conjunction with the OSB) of PIPSC invites you and your guest for a fun, team building evening of playing Pool (Billiards) in the Mezzanine at Dooly’s. Located in the vicinity of St Laurent and Lancaster Rd. (opposite the Museum of Science and Technology).
Join your fellow PIPSC members and co-workers for a chance to socialize and enjoy some light snacks throughout the evening. Cash Bar available. Guest must be above 19+ years of age.
It has come to our attention that CRA is not crediting employees for their vacation or sick leave earned while on LIA. This is occurring in spite of the fact that our AFS collective agreement provides for the earning of vacation and sick leave while on LIA.
To earn sick leave in a given month, an employee must “receive pay for at least seventy-five (75) hours.” Similarly, to earn the vacation leave accumulation, an employee must “receive pay on at least ten (10) days or seventy-five (75) hours.” Employees do receive pay while on LIA.
Fellow Members,
Next month’s election in Ontario is vital. As public service professionals, it’s important that we think about which parties are going to increase public services and which ones are going to decrease them. When it comes to making the lives of Ontario children, seniors, families, and our members better, that matters. Because more and better public health care, child care, education and jobs make the difference between communities that are strong, healthy, and vibrant ... and those that aren’t.
Your vote matters. You already know how important your work can be to the lives of others. That’s why I want to urge you to be sure to vote on June 7 – and to vote for public services.
You can make a pledge to vote for public services by visiting: https://action.pipsc.ca/vote_for_public_services. We’ll be sure to remind you to vote closer to election day.
To learn more and ensure you are registered to vote, please visit Elections Ontario.
Better Together!

President
