Members of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) are demanding changes to how the government deals with āpublic science,ā including reinstating government scientistsā right to speak freely about their research.

Yet its public profile has long languished in the shadow of the three-times-larger and more militant Public Service Alliance of Canada.
