Yes, that work was done by our predecessors at Evidence for Democracy. We stand by that work. It was important work, particularly at that time.
Since that time, there has been a huge effort around rolling out science integrity policies across federal departments and agencies, which in part has addressed this issue around whether scientists can speak freely. If I understand correctly from the office of the chief science adviser, they are working on science integrity policy 2.0., hopefully furthering federal scientists' ability to speak freely and openly about their work.
In terms of the current sentiments within the federal public service, from our position at Evidence for Democracy, we have the information at hand to provide you with an informed response, but we certainly encourage you to get in touch with the Professional Institute of the Public Service on that question.
