The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) welcomes today’s apology by the Prime Minister to members of the LGBTQ community harmed by decades of official and unofficial discrimination.
For decades, lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and queer federal employees were the subject of widespread prejudice that left them silent victims and, in many cases, unemployed. No more.
We believe today’s apology represents a significant step towards eventual reparations that will ensure past wrongs and current rights are recognized in the future.

As you are aware, your Bargaining Team worked diligently to reach a Tentative Agreement in renewal of your Collective Agreement on June 9, 2017. This Tentative Agreement was then ratified by the membership in July.
After a very long wait the CFIA-IN Bargaining Team met for the first time with the employer on November 21, 22 & 23 2017. Proposals were exchanged early on the 21st. Thereafter a number of issues were discussed at length, including Tech Change, Career Development and Contracting Out of IN work. Several mostly administrative items were signed off. The team is encouraged that once at the bargaining table negotiations are advancing quickly and in a positive fashion. A second session of negotiations is scheduled for December 12, 13, 14 2017.
