The Government of Canada has reached a tentative agreement with the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), for the Architecture, Engineering and Land Survey (NR) group. Upon ratification, the agreement would apply to approximately 4,000 members located across the country. Through their professional activities, members of the NR Group support federal services in the areas of architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, urban and rural planning, and land surveying.
The 4-year tentative agreement, expiring on September 30, 2026, would provide general economic increases as well as other improvements for employees, including a one-time allowance of $2,500 and new leave for traditional Indigenous practices. This tentative agreement is in line with the established pattern reflected in other settlements reached during this round of negotiations.
In May 2023, bargaining teams for PIPSC and the Government of Canada reached a tentative settlement at the PIPSC Central Table on key items common to all 6 bargaining units. As each group's collective agreement is signed, common items agreed-to will come into force.
To date, the Government of Canada has reached agreements with 15 bargaining units covering approximately 78% of the collective bargaining population in the core public administration.
