The OPS Mission refers to a public service oath. What is it?
There are two oaths in the Public Service Act (the governing employment legislation in the OPS). Depending on your employment status, the Act sets out different requirements. Most OPS employees are required to take either or both. In taking the oath of office and secrecy, you declare that you will do your job to the best of your ability and keep the information that you come across in your work confidential. The oath of allegiance pledges loyalty to the Queen. You may either swear the oath invoking a deity or a sacred person or thing, or if you decline to swear, you may affirm.
