We are all affected: Cuts to federal government jobs and services

The Conservative government has told thousands of PSAC members they are “affected” and could lose their jobs. Our members are anxious for their future and for their families. They are frustrated because they have worked hard to serve Canadians. And they are worried about what these cuts mean for those who rely on public services.

Mental health matters

On Mental Health Day, the PSAC is calling on all levels of government to address the growing mental health crisis in Canada.

Justice for Aboriginal Peoples – It’s time

The Justice for Aboriginal Peoples initiative is the next step in raising awareness about Aboriginal rights including putting pressure on the federal government to do the right thing.

Food safety first

The federal government is failing on food safety. It's time to fix the food inspector shortage.

Stephen Harper is dragging his feet when it comes to making our food safe. FoodSafetyFirst.ca has given the federal government a failing grade on food inspection and enforcement. You can see the report card here.

Our fish

From wholesale closure of the cod fishery on the East coast resulting in losses to 27,000 northern cod fishers and the diminished work capacity of up to 100 processing plants to the millions of ‘missing' sockeye on the Fraser River leading to fishery restrictions and closure, the continuing collapse of fish stocks puts the culture, livelihoods and ecological heritage of many people across Canada in jeopardy.

If this trend continues, in 50 years there won't be any fish in Canada's oceans and waters. Many more communities will suffer through job loss.
