Defending a Contested Ideal: Merit and the PSC of Canada 1908–2008 by Luc Juillet and Ken Rasmussen
Royal commissions and public‐service reform: Personal reflections
Reflecting on personal experiences with three royal commissions into the public service of Canada – spanning nearly half a century – the author highlights the varied procedures and contributions of the Royal (Glassco) Commission on Government Organization, the Royal (Lambert) Commission on Financial Management and Accountability, and the (Gomery) Commission of Inquiry into the Sponsorship Program and Advertising Activities, Phase 2. As editorial …
Where are we coming from? Are there any useful lessons from our administrative history
This article challenges the notion that contemporary conditions are so new that there are no useful lessons to be learned from administrative history. Beginning with the observation that many recent innovations in public organizations were foreshadowed under the United Canadas, 1841–1867, it asks why they were gradually abandoned over the first century of Confederation, only to be revived recently. For reasons of efficiency and democratic governa…

The intellectual odyssey of public administration in English Canada
From Arm's Length to Hands-on: The Formative Years of Ontario's Public Service, 1867-1940
Confederation was a relief to legislators who had to ensure the uneasy union between Upper and Lower Canada; the dualism had demanded double-barrelled ministries and the rotation of the capital, after 1849, between Toronto and Quebec City every four years. The year 1867 was therefore a watershed. The creation of the province of Ontario demanded that a civil service be put in place to support the new offices of the lieutenant-governor, Executive C…

Implicit values in the administration of public affairs
Government responsiveness to the public interest: Has progress been made
Any attempt to prepare a balance sheet for the government's responsiveness to the public interest confronts a paradox. On the one hand govemments have demonstrated an increasing awareness of the need to be more responsive and have exercised considerable ingenuity in developing ways of attaining these objectives. On the other hand, governments have never been so plagued by complaints directed to their lack of responsiveness, their secretiveness, e…

Intergovernmental Relations in Canada
Intergovernmental relations in Canada have tended to be viewed in light of the paper distribution of powers contained in the British North America Act, and, as a result, debate and research have focused on judicial interpretation and amendment as means of adapting inter governmental relations. The tremendous augmentation of governmental functions (and spending) at all levels has necessitated the creation of extra-constitutional mechanisms for pro…

Grasping the Nettle: Parliament's Special Committee on Defence
The omens in mid-1963 for a successful outcome to the cogitations of the House of Commons Special Committee on Defence could scarcely have been less promising. The Committee was set up in June, in the wake of an election campaign which had featured a violently partisan dispute over the vexed policy of equipping Canadian aircraft and Bomarcs with nuclear armaments. Early in the campaign Mr. Pearson's apparent volte-face on this policy for his own …

W HEN it is not abused for partisan purposes of witch-hunting or whitewashing, investigation can advance the objectives of good government in at least three ways. Responsive, responsible, and pure administration may be fostered by independent probes; executive-legislative formulation of policy may be based on wider knowledge and information uncovered by investigators; and investigative agencies may bring the public into closer relations with the …
