The union representing passport officers says it hasn’t been approached by the government task force looking at delays, as questions swirl around the cabinet committee’s work to date. Is the task force on passport and service delays a ‘political stunt’?
across the country, as well as major delays at airports, the Prime Minister’s Office announced on June 25 the creation of a task force made up of 10 cabinet ministers.
“There has not been any outreach at all from anyone representing a task force of 10 cabinet ministers.” He noted that with a cabinet retreat expected in August, “the days are becoming less and less available for to have a cohesive plan.” There hasn’t been much progress on delays, Warner said, with lineups still happening in some parts of the country. She said the union again had a meeting recently with government to push for more weekend office hours, and some kind of triage system.
The task force’s co-chair, Women and Gender Equality Minister Marci Ien, told reporters in June she’dIen said the committee was first speaking with the ministers responsible for files including passports, immigration and air transportation. The statement said the actions being taken by each department are contained in regular updates provided by those departments to the public.
