We met with representatives of organizations speaking on behalf of people who practice various occupations within the federal public service. They told us that this strategic review has created considerable tension because it has led to an enormous amount of uncertainty. Nobody knows what is expected of them. No one knows if their position will be eliminated or not. In fact, these representatives have told us that this has undermined the work environment and has increased tension amongst public service employees.
Have you witnessed within your own department any problems linked to human resources management that would have been caused by this uncertainty?
