Ottawa, January 12, 2012 – In its latest move to “improve the public service”, the federal government has notified some 60 Environment Canada (EC) employees across the country that their valuable work is no longer required. These senior engineers, environmental compliance officers, biologists, climatologists and other professional public servants, represented by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), perform such critical duties as reporting on pollution, monitoring water quality, and researching climate issues.
