Locally-Engaged Staff Exclusion Approval Order and related regulations
Title of regulatory initiative
Locally-Engaged Staff Exclusion Approval Order and related regulations
Enabling act
Description
The Public Service Commission is continuing work on updating this Exclusion Approval Order and the related regulations.
Persons employed locally in Canadian consulates, embassies and military establishments have been excluded from the application of the entire Public Service Employment Act by this order since 1967. The purpose of the order was to enable the Canadian government to meet its operational requirements abroad in the most cost-effective manner and with a minimum of constraints. The regulations govern the recruitment and employment of local persons as they provide the government with key knowledge of the local language and culture.
At the request of Global Affairs Canada and the Department of National Defence, both the order and the regulations are being modernized to reflect the current act.
This regulatory initiative is associated with the PSC’s stock review plan.
Regulatory cooperation efforts (domestic and international)

Consultations
The departments employing persons locally, Global Affairs Canada and the Department of National Defence, are being consulted on an ongoing basis. No public consultations are planned at this time.
