Jobs eliminated
Some of the cuts so far:
Fisheries and Oceans
Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield confirmed Wednesday that calls for search and rescue in Newfoundland will no longer go to St. John’s, but rather to a centralized call centre in Halifax. He also said that some jobs vacated in his department will not be filled. His office said job reductions will amount to less than 1 per cent a year over three years, which works out to up to 275 fewer jobs at Fisheries. The department also plans to move away from annual quotas for some fish stocks in favour of setting rules every other year, or perhaps longer.
Bank of Canada
Last week, 33 information technology positions were eliminated at the Bank of Canada. Of those, 66 per cent were via layoffs and the rest were through attrition. The bank plans further job reductions next year, with a total reduction of 80 to 95 positions by April 1, 2012.
Environment Canada
About 50 term employees were recently told their jobs will be eliminated by the end of the month. The positions include scientists and scientific support staff.
National Gallery
Five curators at the gallery in Ottawa were recently told their positions would be terminated as a result of an internal spending review.
