Error (section 66, subsections 67(1) & 67(2), Public Service Employment Act)

Deputy heads have the authority to investigate errors, omissions or improper conduct in an internal appointment process as per section 15(3) of the Public Service Employment Act. The Public Service Commission of Canada may, at the request of the deputy head, investigate an internal appointment process for errors, omissions or improper conduct under section 67(2) of the Public Service Employment Act. Once the investigation is completed by the Public Service Commission of Canada, the decision to accept the investigation report and proposed corrective action, including revocation, is the responsibility of the deputy head concerned. Accordingly, the Public Service Commission of Canada has chosen not to publish summaries of investigations conducted under section 67(2) of the Public Service Employment Act.
