Government Officials: Government and Emergency Funding

government officials: The government new pay system, Phoenix, has not been working properly, and this week officials acknowledged that more than 80,000 government employees — about a quarter of the work force — had had serious problems with their pay, according to The Waterloo Record. In scenes more often associated with emerging markets on the brink of debt default, government officials apologized, pointed to emergency funding and promised to make employees whole — all while admitting to breaches of private information. But instead of gabbing about the weather like usual, the small talk is all about who is getting paid and who is not. Meanwhile, the rest of the country reeled with the thought of Donald Trump as U.S. president; received brand new cheques from the federal government to spend on their children; and seemed to pay little heed to the handful of politicians left behind in Ottawa to discuss what else they can do for desperate refugees in the Middle East.
