Unions that represent federal public servants are calling on the government to take action regarding employee dissatisfaction as a report finds they are unable to take pride in their work, according to an article by CBC News.
The Deputy Ministers’ Task Team on Values and Ethics Report was published by a task force formed by Privy Council Clerk John Hannaford.
It found that “public servants must provide frank and professional advice, without partisan considerations or fear of criticism or political reprisals” and included accounts of racism and discrimination. A double standard was also present regarding the unequal application of the Values and Ethics Code of the Public Sector.
