Question Period Notes
About this information

Why is this Government short changing our veterans and failing to recognize their service?
Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is providing project management and procurement services for the construction of a small craft harbour in the community of Clyde River, Nunavut, on behalf the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
Our priority continues to be the creation of a safe service delivery environment. Access to the services provided at Service Canada Centres are required by our most vulnerable clients whose needs cannot be met through the eService and telephone service delivery channels. In addition, some services require in person support to validate identity or because of time sensitivity affecting income, employment and ability to travel.
At the start of the pandemic, Service Canada Centres closed temporarily. During this time, significant changes were made to our service delivery approach to ensure Canadians could continue to have access to the Service Canada programs, services and benefits they need.
Since then, Service Canada has put health and safety strategies in place to reactivate 340 sites across the country. Despite significant efforts to adapt to the changing environment while optimizing service delivery across the network, additional capacity was required to meet public demand, reduce line-ups and long wait times and provide Canadians with the services they need.
As a result, a national strategy was implemented to enable the reopening of more service counters, in a way that is safe for staff and clients, through the removal of all physical distancing requirements in our offices. This strategy is fully supported by Health Canada, Operational Health and Safety and Unions Partners.
