LU prof weighs in on renewed freedom of speech rights for Canada’s scientists | CBC News
It’s funny… In 2015 Trudeau made it part of his larger campaign speech to free scientists ability to speak with the media after the Conservatives muzzled them during Harper’s reign of terror. Now that it’s possible the PC’s will once again control Canada and Trudeau may be on his way out… he lives up to his promise.
Canadian scientists could be breathing a sigh of relief following news that a clause in their collective agreement with the Trudeau government locks in their right to speak to the media.
The Liberals, under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, agreed to renew the clause at the June 7 conclusion of bargaining for a contract that would replace the one that expired last fall for most of the three groups included — researchers, scientists and engineers.
