Phoenix Nightmare Was Avoidable


It is simply mindboggling to know that the federal government did not undertake a pilot project to test a pay system that would impact 200K+ people prior to a full rollout. With 27 collective agreements and 15 bargaining agents, along with the various administrative idiosyncrasies within the dozens of ministries and even more departments, common sense would suggest the need for a comprehensive pre-implementation testing.
The failure of Phoenix does little to inspire confidence in the government’s latest decision to spend billions on a pipeline. The Auditor general will likely have something to say about that in due course. With the next federal election less than 17 months away, the Liberal government will have to work hard to convince voters that they know what they are doing.
