About Us
Mission
The mission of the CFP, through its administrative tribunal and oversight activities, is to help ensure that citizens have equal access to the public service, that those promoted and recruited have the required competencies, and that the decisions made by human resources management within the public service are impartial and equitable.
Main Mandates
As an administrative tribunal, the Commission hears the following types of recource:
- On working conditions and administrative or disciplinary measures relating to public servants not governed by a collective agreement;
- On the interpretation or application of the agreement on the working conditions of criminal and penal prosecutors;
- On the psychological harassment of public servants and not governed by a collective agreement; as well as of members and directors of public service bodies;
- From public servants, regarding the procedures used to determine their eligibility or to evaluate them, during a promotion-only qualification process
- From certain persons entitled to return to the public service.
It also holds discussions and information sessions on promotion (only qualification process), and offers mediation to the parties following any of the other means of recourse mentioned above.
As an oversight agency, the Commission does the following :
- Verifies the impartiality and fairness of decisions affecting public servants;
- Ascertains whether the system of recruitment and promotion of public servants complies with the Public Service Act and its regulations;
To that end, the Commission conducts audits and any investigations it deems necessary in the departments and agencies of the public service. It makes recommendations to the competent authorities and may report to the National Assembly if it finds it useful.
