Press Release — PIPSC AGM concludes with renewed strength and a clear plan to defend public services
Toronto, December 13, 2025 — The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) concluded its national AGM today. This event marked President Sean O’Reilly’s first year in office, and charted a focused path forward as federal public services face deep cuts, accelerating outsourcing, and rapid technological change.
Over 800 delegates, stewards and board members from across the country gathered to assess the year’s progress and set priorities for the months ahead. O’Reilly highlighted that, over the past year, PIPSC has invested in steward training and digital modernization, thereby creating a stronger foundation for the challenges ahead.
“This AGM marks a turning point,” said PIPSC President Sean O’Reilly. “We’ve rebuilt our internal strength, we’ve shown governments that we are a serious, solutions-focused voice, and we’re ready for the difficult period ahead. Our members deliver the critical services Canadians rely on every day, and we will defend that work with clarity, determination and unity.”
A major theme of the AGM was the union’s response to the federal government’s newly signaled cuts to the public service. PIPSC emphasized the real risks these cuts pose to Canadians, from slower inspections to weaker emergency response to delays in scientific and regulatory work. These decisions are not just reducing headcount; they’re weakening the systems that keep this country functioning. At the same time, new return to office (RTO) mandates are adding instability and stress.
Delegates reflected on the national Lobby Week that saw members meet MPs across the country to raise concerns about cuts, outsourcing, and workforce adjustment (WFA) pressures.The AGM also showcased PIPSC’s leadership on federal science and artificial intelligence. The union’s recent Science Roadmap report revealed significant strain in labs and research programs across government, while PIPSC continued pushing for responsible, evidence-based AI adoption that supports rather than replaces professional expertise.
PIPSC celebrated important member-driven wins this year, including the successful CRPEG strike — the union’s first in more than 30 years — and membership growth in specialized groups, such as Crown Counsel in Newfoundland and Labrador.
As the AGM closed, PIPSC reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening public service capacity, protecting evidence-based decision-making and advocating for the resources professionals need to serve Canadians effectively.
PIPSC represents over 85,000 public-sector professionals across the country, most of them employed by the federal government. Follow us on Facebook, on X (formerly known as Twitter) and on Instagram.
