In a move that may change the way we see the bureaucracy that is the Canadian government, the CBC has gleaned from leaked budget documents that there may be a move to "one stop" service offices for all things you need the Gov Of CA for.
It would provide one-stop shopping for Canadians who need anything from jobs to employment-insurance forms to passports to health services for veterans.Sounds great- think of the money that would be saved on expensive urban office space, the bloated middle management in each department that exists simply to make sure the front-line staff punches in on time and is paid properly- all of that gone.
I wouldn't bet the farm on it, though- I'm sure the various unions affected will be up in arms and this will never see the light of day.
-unless the feds offer to finally come good on pay-equity as a trade. Yeah- I wouldn't be holding my breath for any of this... hopefully the union's sense of being "public servants" will be taken into account before deep sixing this as a threat to their members' jobs.
