AGM for the PIPSC DND OTTAWA/GATINEAU BRANCH 18:00h Tuesday, 16 January 2018 @ the Salon Royal at the Casino Lac Leamy
The PIPSC DND NCR Ottawa/Gatineau (all PIPSC members who work in the Ottawa/Gatineau area, excluding CFB Petawawa) are invited to attend our 2018 Annual General Meeting (AGM). This will take place at on Tuesday 16 January, in the Royal Salon, of the Casino Lac Leamy. The event starts at 18:00 and will last about 2 hours. A buffet dinner will be served. This event promises to be fun and interesting. There will be a very good guest speaker. There is no charge.
The Senate of Canada is investigating abandoning the Phoenix pay system and moving to its own payroll system. PIPSC is very concerned that the Senate's proposal would bypass public-sector solutions in favour of yet another private company performing the work.
If we have learned anything from the Phoenix disaster it is that over-reliance on the private sector to manage and implement projects that should be in the public sector has led to failures and cost overruns. It goes without saying that this could also mean job losses for the very front-line public employees trying to make the (IBM-implemented) Phoenix system work.
PIPSC will continue to demand that the government find a solution to the failings of the Phoenix pay system and engage our own government IT community in that solution. The Institute will be closely monitoring the situation at the Senate as it unfolds.
