Service Canada: Canada

Tony White Dept: "These job losses are real difficult," said Tony White, a vice-president with the Canada, Employment and Immigration Union, a component of the Public Service Alliance of Canada. Human Resources Minister Diane Finley says Service Canada is adapting to a public switch in demand for service, according to CBC. White, who works for Service Canada in Harbour Grace in eastern Newfoundland, has had the difficult job of speaking with people who have been given redundancy notices and a senior official with the union representing federal government employees who is losing his own position says the latest round of job cuts is hurting rural areas hardest. "They're in rural areas, and when you lose a good-paying quality public service job to a small area, that's a big loss to the local area," White told News Thursday. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
