Ottawa public servants face stagnant wages, fewer colleagues
Last Updated: Friday, November 21, 2008 | 7:42 AM ET Comments101Recommend46
CBC News
The federal public service in the National Capital Region has lost thousands of jobs in the past three months, and the federal government has suggested those who remain will get wage increases below inflation over the next few years.
Barry Nabatian, the general manager of Market Research Corp., said recent Treasury Board numbers show Ottawa Gatineau lost 2,700 public servants between September and October.
The government seems to be clawing back some of the 25,000 jobs added to the public service in the region since the Conservatives first took power in February 2006.
Some of the jobs have been transferred to other parts of Canada, Nabatian said Thursday.
"Over the next few years, it wouldn't surprise me if they transferred all 25,000 — either transferred them or not replaced them," he added.
While Nabatian doesn't expect actual layoffs, public servants will likely face stagnating wages.

Ottawa will likely feel pain of Nortel cuts: analyst
Employees at Nortel's Ottawa campus are probably right to be worried after the company announced Monday that it would make 1,300 job cuts between now and 2009, says a local technology business analyst.
Nortel's share price hit a record low of $1.08 on the Toronto Stock Exchange before closing at $1.11 Monday after the company announced the cuts and reported a third-quarter loss of $3.41 billion.
Tyler Chamberlin, an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa's Telfer School of Management, said even though the company hasn't specified what jobs will be cut, the fact that Nortel's Ottawa operations are focused on research and development doesn't bode well for employees.
"Put together the fact that they're scaling back R and D, and they're scaling back employees — I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think that a large part of those cuts are going to come in Ottawa," Chamberlin said.
The company also said Monday that four top executives will be leaving Jan. 1, 2009, including chief technology officer John Roese. Chamberlin said that's a bad sign suggesting Roese doesn't have faith either in the technology or the company's future prospects. On Monday, many of the company's 4,200 Ottawa employees were bracing for the worst.

Old news. Now the stock of NT is much lower but the price of houses in Ottawa is higher.

News Story UPDATE: Ottawa housing prices to hold steady
By Ottawa Business Journal Staff
Tue, Jan 6, 2009 10:00 AM EST
Ottawa's housing market will continue doing what it does best in 2009 - bucking the national trend, that is - according to a report released Tuesday by Royal LePage.
The report said strong job security and strengthening consumer confidence will continue to stimulate the real estate market, adding that Ottawa's market is "unique" in that it has not seen the extreme price fluctuations witnessed in other major Canadian markets. "Instead, the city maintains slow and steady price appreciations, leading to a more sustainable trend line, positioning Ottawa to outperform other markets in 2009," read the report.
Royal LePage said Ottawa's average house price is expected to hold steady at $291,000 in 2009. The number of homes sold in the new year is expected to decrease, however, by five per cent to 13,110 units.
"Looking ahead, Ottawa's real estate market will remain strong and stable through 2009," said Pierre de Varennes, a broker/owner at Ottawa's Royal LePage Performance Realty, in a statement. "Ottawa has not seen the exuberant increases over the past couple years that other markets such as Calgary and Edmonton have experienced.
"Ottawa's house price appreciation trend line is more sustainable and shelters the city from the nervousness of consumers and negative fluctuations felt in other areas of the country."
Meanwhile, Canadian housing market will avoid a U.S.-style crash in prices in 2009, according to a national report from Royal LePage, though the brokerage said prices will continue to fall across the country in the new year.
