4.26 Spousal priority − In November 2005, stakeholders discussed whether the PSEA should be amended to facilitate the appointment of spouses of members of the CF, the RCMP and public service employees whose death was attributable to service. During 2006-2007, further analysis and consultations with the Human Resources Council, the National Staffing Council and the Public Service Commission Advisory Council indicated that a priority entitlement for appointment was feasible, practical and in the best interest of the public service. In 2008, the PSC will establish a regulatory priority entitlement for surviving spouses who qualify for appointment to advertised external positions. This will also apply to spouses of Reservists whose death resulted from service to the country.
