Breaking down Budget 2025
Behind the language of “discipline” and “modernization” lurks the most significant downsizing of Canada’s public service since the 1990s – with 40,000 positions being eliminated by 2028. While it is not yet clear what exactly will get cut, it is clear that cuts will result in losses of key public goods, particularly in environmental monitoring, data collection, and applied research.

A Science Roadmap for Canada's Future: Lessons from a Decade of Federal Scientists' Voices
Canada's federal scientists have been sending a message for over a decade: the system is broken, progress has stalled, and without decisive action, we risk losing the very capacity that helped us weather the last crisis.
This report draws on 12 years of survey data from PIPSC – the voices of thousands of federal scientists, engineers, and researchers who form the backbone of Canada's public science system. Their story is one of fleeting progress followed by dangerous regression, of rights written on paper but not lived in practice. Canada’s scientific capacity is being threatened just when we need it most.The path forward is clear, but the window for action is narrowing.

PIPSC members are following the money
“When you see people working hard, making a decent salary, paying more taxes than these companies that make hundreds of millions of dollars, that’s the frustrating part. We bring in hundreds of millions of tax dollars when we uncover these tax schemes. And this has a substantial impact on all Canadians,” Simone Zobatar shares her experience working for the CRA.

Warning Sign: Auditor General Report on CRA call centres
CRA agents are professionals who want to help Canadians, but they’re being set up to fail by political decisions beyond their control.

Support Alberta’s teachers and stand up for democracy
In a deeply disappointing move – and to avoid good faith bargaining – the Premier of Alberta has used the notwithstanding clause to force Alberta's 51,000 teachers back to work. PIPSC proudly stands in solidarity with Alberta’s teachers. As a labour movement we must stand up for our right to bargain, strike and organize.
