Does the Values and Ethics Code for the Public Service apply to political activities?
Activities that do not fit the definition of political activities under the PSEA are subject to the Values and Ethics Code for the Public Service (the Code) or, in cases where Treasury Board is not the employer, to the organization’s applicable code. These activities could, therefore, be problematic for reasons other than those related to the PSEA. In addition, the Code governs the political activities of casual workers, part-time workers that are not required to work more than one-third of the normal scheduled daily or weekly hours of work established for persons doing similar work, and students.
