Le Programme d'affectations de durée déterminée est unique à Élections Canada. Il a été conçu par la gestion, en consultation avec les syndicats, dans le contexte du processus actuel de réaménagement des effectifs. Il est offert aux employés permanents touchés qui, autrement, pourraient être déclarés excédentaires. Le programme offre aux employés la possibilité de garder un emploi et ainsi, de retarder le moment où ils seront déclarés excédentaires ou peut-être même d’éviter que cela se produise. 1, record 1, French, - Programme%20d%27affectations%20de%20dur%C3%A9e%20d%C3%A9termin%C3%A9e
