  • The Role of Deputy Ministers in Canadian Government
    10 The Role of Deputy Ministers in Canadian Government Chapter Summary The role of the deputy minister (DM) is the main interchange between the political head of a department, the minister, and the public servants of the department. In an advisory capacity to the minister, the deputy minister serves primarily as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a department. The deputy minister is not subject to the merit system of the Public Service of Canada (PSC) but must follow most provisions as outlined in the Public Service Employment Act. A deputy minister’s position can be made through a discretionary appointment, by designation or selection, or through an appointment process by the Governor-in Council on the advice and recommendation of the prime minister. The powers of the deputy minister are not specified in any specific statute, except for several regulatory departments such as Revenue, Consumer Affairs, Justice, and Immigration. A DM is considered the manager of all of the financial and human resources of a department as well as serving as an accounting officer. In addition, the deputy minister implements the appropriate statutes for a department and can contribute to the drafting of rules and regulations and undertake related policy-making decisions. The accountability of a deputy minister can be both challenging and difficult to understand. The DM is answerable to many different people within the political process. For example, a DM is responsible to parliament and its committees for the work of his or her ministry and ultimately to the PM, who made the recommendation to have them serve as DM for a specific department.

    <:;an..adi J~mnn Number 162 / Janua r y 1965 Cereal box coupons and soap package enclosures do not general­ ly excite much enthusiasm from the editor of 'Canadian Rail', but we must admit we are looking forward with some eagerness to comp­ leting our collection of RAILWAY MUGS currently being distribut e d by the Quaker Oats Company, in their specially-marked packages of Quaker Oats. This series of twelve hot chocolate mugs depicts the develop - ment of the steam locomotive in Canada from the 0-6-0 "Samson", to the CPR 2-10-4 #8000. The mugs are being offered by the Quaker Oats Company of Cana­ da to salute Canada's Centennial, and the part played by the rail­ ways and their steam locomotives in furthering the pro ~ ress of the nation. Each cup pictures an authentic locomotive design -- one shows a Canadian Northern 2-8-0, a type of locomotive that made a major contribution to the country's prairie economy by moving grain from the Western provinces to the Lakehead -- another shows one of the Canadian Pacific's ubiquitous D-10 engines. There are 12 different locomotives in the series - each a col­ lector's item. The reproductions are precisely etched in decora­ tive colours and trimmed with 22k gold.

  • 5. the Responsibilities and Accountabilities of Deputy Ministers
    5 CHAPTER FIVE THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES OF DEPUTY MINISTERS This chapter examines the responsibilities and accountabilities of the most senior public servants, the Deputy Ministers. Deputy Ministers are the managers of the departments of government. Under their Ministers, they direct the administration of financial and human resources.They advise the Minister on policy issues and on reforms to administration.Together they form a community that must work as a team to coordinate and direct the work of government. Most policy initiatives cross-cut several departments and demand coordination of policy-making in several departments.Deputy Ministers have extensive management and other responsibilities. As the managers of departments, Deputy Ministers are responsible for the work and actions of the public servants under them. It is their job 83 84 RESTORING ACCOUNTABILITY:RECOMMENDATIONS to ensure that departmental administration meets established standards. Not only their Ministers but Parliament as well must be assured that Deputy Ministers fulfill their responsibilities as departmental managers. The Statutory Responsibilities of Deputy Ministers The statutory responsibilities of Deputy Ministers originate from two different sources.First are their responsibilities under the Interpretation Act1 and other departmental acts which permit Deputy Ministers to act in the name of Ministers for all powers possessed by Ministers, except the power to make regulations. There is no question that, for the exercise of these powers, Deputy Ministers act under the authority delegated by their particular Minister, and they are ultimately accountable to those Ministers for the use of these powers. Ministers are,in turn,accountable to Parliament for what was done,whether the Minister or the Deputy Minister actually made the decision.

  • Higgs Premier of New Brunswick Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick Fredericton, New Brunswick E3B 1C5
    Canadian Public Affairs 222 Queen Street, Suite 1404 Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5V9 March 20, 2020 The Honourable Blaine Higgs Premier of New Brunswick Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick Fredericton, New Brunswick E3B 1C5 Dear Premier Higgs, I’m writing on behalf of Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) to urge you to designate the construction industry, including companies that sell, rent and service construction equipment and related supplies, as essential businesses that should continue to ensure our nation’s roads and bridges and other important infrastructure assets, can be built and maintained while fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. AED is the international trade association companies that sell, rent, service and manufacture construction, mining, farm, energy, forestry and industrial equipment and related supplies. The Canadian equipment distribution industry, which is dominated by small-medium-sized, family- owned businesses, has more than 420 locations across the country that employ over 27,000 workers and account for at least $8 billion in annual economic activity. AED members are already going to great lengths and following the recommended public health guidance to ensure the infrastructure needs of our country continue to be met. Shutting down their ability to do so will not only impact the economic viability of our member companies, but also the entire country. As your government continues the tireless work to limit the spread of COVID-19 through urging Canadians to work from home and self-isolation measures, it is important that the construction industry and those that support it are able to perform the work necessary to build and maintain our critical infrastructure.

  • @Risk: the Mother of All Risks with Brian Gallant [Music Plays] Jodi: Hey, I’M Jodi Butts
    @Risk: The Mother of All Risks with Brian Gallant [Music plays] Jodi: Hey, I’m Jodi Butts. Welcome to @Risk, brought to you by Interac. So much of a company's value is tied up in its reputation. More than a comms issue, reputational risk is existential. Canadians, like many other people around the globe, are demanding more of companies. It's not enough to make great widgets and to stay clear of trouble. Those widgets need to not create any harm, and better yet, the company making those widgets needs to situate itself in the society in which it operates, and help address some of its biggest challenges. And companies are wise to do what they say, because inauthenticity is the kiss of death. So how does a company navigate these treacherous waters? I sat down with the 33rd premier of New Brunswick and the Canadian Center For The Purpose Of The Corporation's CEO Brian Gallant to figure out how a company can protect its greatest asset and not lose its shirt in the process. Brian and I get a little philosophical, share a couple of laughs, and I try really hard to get Brian to break out his crystal ball. Reputation, the mother of all risks. Because its value to a corporation is as great as the demands to do more and better are complex. [Music swells, then fades out] Thank you for joining me Brian, and welcome to @Risk. Brian: Thanks for having me Jodi. Jodi: So is capitalism at risk of losing Canadian support? Brian: There's no question that there's a huge appetite for change amongst the Canadian public.
