With respect to the closure of the service centres, it more directly impacts one of our sister unions, PSAC, since our union primarily represents professionals. Having said that, the closure of these offices is coming at a time when Canadians need them most.
From what I've heard in talking to my counterparts at the other unions, trying to resolve problems relating to those issues is creating long delays in the time in which unemployed Canadians receive paycheques. Again, it's another service that Canadians can ill afford to lose at this point, with all the other job cuts that are going on.
