Are there any advantages to combining Labour Relations and Public Complaints?
The Committee has examined that question and we are not convinced that there would be any advantages. There could be limited advantages, for example, money saved in certain areas, but that would be very small and there might not be any savings, once all the required “firewalls” were created between the labour relations and public complaints functions. We think that the challenges of the ICCOR model outweigh its advantages. We certainly support the Minister and the government in their review of the Task Force recommendations and we are committed to participating in ongoing discussions surrounding the labour relations review function.
