Do PMSS employees have the same authority as PSPC project managers?

PMSS employees are PSPC representatives. As such, they have the same authority. However, due to PSPC Financial Act, Tiree employees do not have signing authority but they can make recommendations to PSPC directors who can sign the different documents. If recommendations or guidance is given by PMSS employees, PSPC employees are required to be looped in (i.e. via e-mail kept on cc.).
