Yes, we absolutely do.
ESDC was audited a number of years ago regarding the integrity of the workers doing employment insurance and regarding privacy and these kinds of things. A certain level of scrutiny of values and ethics is instilled in every second of every day that an employee is working directly for the government.
We're seeing these contracts double and triple in size. We're seeing emergency services like CERB be contracted out. Long-standing, important services like the ones at Veterans Affairs Canada and the CRA are also being contracted out.
It's devaluing and diminishing public services to Canadians and future Canadians. We are incredibly concerned. It's why you've seen PSAC and other unions dedicate so many of their resources to trying to end this. As I said earlier, we are public sector workers first, so we are doing this for Canadians and for the interests of our members.
