To PSAC members in Vancouver Quadra,
Please Think Public when voting for your PM in the by-election on March 17th.
Check the Candidates and their Parties’ views and records on public services and privatization.
- downsizing - cuts to Service Canada programs, offices, and workers
- de-regulation - Bill C-39 to amend the Canadian Grain Act. This Act would eliminate important grain weighing and inspection jobs of PSAC members in Vancouver.
- tax cuts - The Conservative Government’s corporate tax cuts will take 60 billion dollars out of revenues over the next five years. This is money that could be spent on national child care and pharmacare programs, and a national housing strategy.
As the largest federal public service union in Canada, the PSAC is asking you to keep these issues in mind when you cast your vote on March 17th.
Downsizing, de-regulation, and tax cuts come at the cost of services to the public and of the jobs of workers providing those services.
