What are the roles and responsibilities of the Canada Public Service Agency (CPSA) with regard to the EX qualification standard?
With the coming into force of the PSEA, responsibility to establish qualification standards in relation to education, knowledge, experience, etc., was transferred from the PSC to the employer. It was the decision of the TB Ministers to adopt the PSC selection standards as the employer’s occupational group qualification standards (including the EX qualification standard). The Agency will have the overall responsibility for maintaining these standards on behalf of the employer and will: • implement the standard • review and update the standard, as required and/or when other standards are developed or modified • evaluate the use and effectiveness of the qualification standard • provide support in terms of advice and guidance to departments on the intent, application, and interpretation of the qualification standard.
