Statistics Survey Operations removed from Schedule V

Summary#

This Order removes Statistics Survey Operations from Schedule V to the Financial Administration Act because that part of the public administration no longer has any employees. The change was registered and came into force on September 20, 2024.

What it does#

• Deletes the entry for Statistics Survey Operations from Schedule V to the Financial Administration Act.
• Notes that all former SSO employees were moved into the core public service and into the Program and Administrative Services (PA) group as of November 23, 2023, so there will be no future appointments to SSO.
• States the Order took effect on the day it was registered (September 20, 2024).
• This is described by the government as a housekeeping step to remove an obsolete statutory listing.

Who's affected#

• Statistics Canada internally, because the change reflects a structural shift already completed.
• Employees who used to be in Statistics Survey Operations; they are now part of the Program and Administrative Services (PA) group.
• The general public and businesses — including small businesses — are not expected to notice any change, according to the government.

Why it matters#

• It cleans up the law so government lists match the actual organization of the public service.
• There is no new policy, cost, or service change tied to this Order.
• It matters mainly to people who track government organization, public‑service bargaining units, or the legal record of federal agencies.
