The author starts by drawing a profile of the senior civil servant in the Quebec government at the end of the fifties and shows the development of this category of the public service on the basis of corresponding data for the years 1969 and 1975. He concludes this first part of his paper with comments on significant changes, indicative of the characteristics of the Quebec public service during the last two decades. The author then comments on the evolution of the social, political and administrative environment in which the senior official discharges his own changing responsibilities and ends this second part with comparative notes on the management of comparable public services in the United States, France and the United Kingdom. The paper concludes with some thoughts on several of the dilemmas facing the senior civil service: responsibility versus authority, neutrality versus involvement and a changing society versus bureaucratization of services
