As the Carney government moves ahead with plans to slash potentially tens of thousands of federal public service jobs, new polling by the Public Service Alliance of Canada shows that people in Canada are concerned about the impact of cuts on already strained public services and want to talk to humans — not chatbots — when accessing federal benefits.

Receiving a letter saying that your position may be affected by workforce adjustment or employment transition can be a confusing and stressful experience. To help make things clearer and highlight the options available to you, we’ve created new flowcharts for federal public service workers employed by Treasury Board, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Parks Canada, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

The austerity measures announced as part of Prime Minister Carney’s upcoming fall budget should be deeply concerning to everyone in Canada.

This section of our website outlines your rights and options as a CFIA worker facing these challenges and contains more information about the process.

PSAC’s employment transition guide for workers at CFIA is an essential resource to help members understand their rights and protections when changes to the workforce, including layoffs, are being contemplated. It is designed to reduce uncertainty, provide clarity, and empower members to make informed decisions. 

The Carney government’s plan to slash public service budgets puts thousands of jobs and the services people rely on at risk. Join us for a virtual townhall to discuss how we can fight to protect public services and the workers who deliver them.
