Canada celebrates public servants on National Public Service Week
Ottawa, June 11 (IBNS): Canada is celebrating its public servants on the National Public Service Week (NPSW), which began on Sunday.
The NPSW was created in 1992 following the passage of National Public Service Week.
The NPSW win run between June 10 and Jun 16.
On this occasion, Trudeau has issued a statement to say, "Canada’s Public Service has earned recognition worldwide – thanks to the leadership, passion, and commitment our public servants show every day.
"Whether helping those affected by the spring flooding across the country, welcoming the world to Canada during the G7 Summit, or supporting Canadians abroad, public servants are there time and again to deliver the essential services we rely on."
Trudeau has also referred to the Phoenix pay system that made public servants go through severe hardships.
He said: "Public servants continue to show unwavering professionalism as they face unacceptable hardships caused by the implementation of the Phoenix pay system. The government will continue to work diligently to make sure every employee gets the pay they are owed."
Referring to the budget 2018, Trudeau said, "....we have added significant resources to boost processing capacity, improve support for employees within departments, and begin work on a new pay system. Working together with our public service labour partners, we are committed to resolving outstanding pay system issues as quickly as possible."
Thanking all public servants, the PM said: "You play a vital role to keep our democracy healthy, strengthen communities, and grow the middle class. I look forward to continuing to work with you to build a Canada where everyone has access to quality services and a real and fair chance to succeed.”
