Approximately three weeks ago, on the daily MP call, I asked ESDC officials what steps were being taken to redeploy workers to assist with the benefit rollouts for Canadians who have lost their jobs. Second, I asked what steps were being taken to assist workers in the federal public service to connect from home. Officials acknowledged that both were taking place but could not provide any details.
Can the minister commit to letting Parliament know what percentage of her workforce is not completing their regular hours and duties because of network and technological challenges? As well, of the total workforce at ESDC, what percentage or how many employees have been redeployed to assist directly with Canadians suffering from a loss of jobs?
Thank you.
