  • Deputy Ministers And'politicization in the Government of Canada: Lessons Learned from the 2006-2007 Conservative Transition
    DEPUTY MINISTERS AND'POLITICIZATION IN THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA: LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE 2006-2007 CONSERVATIVE TRANSITION by SHANNON LEIGH WELLS B.A (Hons) Dalhousie University, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 2007 © Shannon Leigh Wells, 2007 Abstract This thesis analyses the 2006-07 Conservative transition in the Government of Canada by asking the following: is there evidence of overt partisan politicization of the deputy ministers during this transition? Significantly, there is no evidence of overt politicization. Harper has not forced departure of incumbent deputy ministers, nor has he appointed a significant number of known partisan allies from outside the public service. Instead, Harper has retained the overwhelming majority of deputy ministers who served the previous Liberal government. However, the 2006-07 transition also suggests considerable lateral career mobility of deputy ministers within the highest levels of government. The thesis argues that lateral mobility is explained by the "corporate" governance structure in the government of Canada, according to which deputy ministers are expected to identify with the government's broad policy goals and mobilize support for them. High degrees of lateral mobility during the Conservative transition provide evidence to suggest that a potentially rigid bureaucratic system can be made responsive to the policy priorities of a new government without compromising the professional norms of a non-partisan, career public service. ii Table of Contents Abstract ii Table of Contents > iii List of Tables.

  • Policing and Public Safety Strategy
    Manitoba’s Policing and May 2019 Public Safety Strategy Keeping Manitobans safe through collaboration, criminal intelligence and provincial leadership. Manitoba’s Policing and Public Safety Strategy Minister’s Message On March 9, 2018, the Manitoba government announced the Criminal Justice System Modernization Strategy (CJSM), following an internal review of Manitoba’s criminal justice system. The CJSM is a four-point strategy. It emphasizes crime prevention. It targets resources for serious criminal cases. It more effectively uses restorative justice. And it supports the responsible reintegration of offenders. The goal of the CJSM is to transform the way we deal with complex issues related to the administration of justice in our province. It is designed to help create safe communities and ensure timely access to justice for all Manitobans. We have made significant progress since the launch of the CJSM. Criminal cases are moving more quickly, fewer people are in custody, and where appropriate, more matters are being referred to restorative justice to enhance accountability and reduce reliance on incarceration before trial. Manitoba is also taking action to improve road safety and reduce the number of fatal collisions on our roads. New legislation will create tougher sanctions for impaired drivers, utilizing a more efficient administrative system that allows police to remain on the road to apprehend more impaired drivers and dedicate more of their resources to arresting violent offenders. Manitoba Justice has already taken concrete actions to address many of the challenges in our criminal justice system. However, while early results show promise, challenges remain and there is much more to do.
