PSAC launches campaign to protect public services

Ottawa - The federal budget that was tabled in Parliament on Monday by the Harper Conservatives aims to reduce the deficit on the backs of hard working Canadians by slashing essential services, said the Public Service Alliance of Canada. In response, the PSAC launched a national campaign to reach out to Canadians in workplaces and communities across the country.

"Cutting public services and jobs is the wrong priority at the wrong time," said John Gordon, National President of PSAC. "A majority in Parliament does not give Harper the license to ignore the Canadian public."
