Thanks to technical glitches, more than 80,000, deputy Public Services and Procurement Minister minister Marie Lemay said last week. The Liberals launched the Phoenix payment system this winter. “It’s another demonstration of how much of a boondoggle this whole Phoenix system really has become now,” PSAC vice-president Chris Aylward told CBC. Well, at least Phoenix didn’t inadvertently expose personal details about every federal public servant in the country, right? Public Services and Procurement Minister Judy Foote put it thusly to Postmedia in June: “People shouldn’t have to go without pay.”Fair enough.
