  • What Would the Incise Index Say About Canada Now?
    Optimumonline.ca vol. 49, no. 1 (spring 2019) Integrity as a Required Element of Civil Service Effectiveness – What would the InCiSE Index Say About Canada Now? Ian Peach The International Civil Service Effectiveness (InCiSE) Index is a project of the Blavatnik School of Government and the Institute for Government in the United Kingdom.1 It was designed to analyse the effectiveness of participating countries’ central government civil services because, as the partners explain, “An effective civil service plays an important role in driving forward a country’s progress and prosperity. An ineffective one can act as a brake on these things.”2 The analysis is based on both the “core functions” of governments (the “what” of governing), with the effectiveness of governments in delivering 11 core functions analysed, and the “attributes” of government (the “how” of governing), with six key attributes of good government, which affect the quality of the delivery of core functions, analysed.3 As it is described in the 2017 InCiSE report, “Every civil service has an underlying set of behavioural characteristics or traits which are important drivers of how effectively core functions are delivered, for example levels of openness, integrity and inclusiveness. … Cultivating and displaying these attributes is commonly … understood to be good practice. They are also key determinants of an organisation’s overall effectiveness.”4 One of the six key attributes analysed was “integrity”, which was defined by six themes: corruption level perceptions; adherence to rules and procedures; work ethics; fairness and impartiality; striving to serve citizens and ministers; and processes in place to preserve integrity and prevent conflicts of interest.5 The first InCiSE Index, released in June 2017, ranked Canada’s federal public service as top overall; Canada was also rated fourth in the integrity index, after New Zealand, Sweden and Norway.6 Since then, however, serious questions about the independence and integrity of Canada’s federal public service have arisen.

For the Legislature’s role in controlling public money, refer to Section 1200 Role of the Legislature to Control Public Money. Cabinet Pursuant to The Executive Government Administration Act, the Lieutenant Governor appoints the Executive Council (i.e., Cabinet) and a President of the Executive Council. In Saskatchewan, by tradition, the Premier is appointed the President of the Executive Council. Through The Executive Government Administration Act, the Premier selects ministers to preside over ministries or other similar agencies, their responsibilities for Acts, corporations and other entities, and their appointments to standing Cabinet committees. All ministers are in Cabinet. The Premier is chair of Cabinet and the Minister responsible for the Office of the Executive Council. Cabinet is the decision-making body of the Government. Cabinet exercises the specific authority that was delegated to the Lieutenant Governor in Council by the Legislative Assembly or that is permitted through common law. Cabinet makes decisions with respect to proposed Orders in Council and regulations and determines government policies, priorities, the legislative agenda and the annual budget. The broad directions and priorities of Cabinet are communicated to the public through the Speech from the Throne and the Budget Speech. Ministers All government organizations, including ministries, Crown corporations and provincial agencies, and all ministers’ offices are part of the cabinet system and in most cases subject to its requirements.

  • 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.
