I have read it thoroughly. It contains some serious problems, but you are not responding to the issues that these raise.
One of the commissioners from the Public Service Commission of Canada wrote the following in a letter addressed to Mr. Martin:
In particular, the Commission is concerned about the Bill's effect on the merit-based appointment system and the impact of the overlap with Public Service employment Act (PSEA) provisions for managing non-partisanship and political activities of public servants.
That is quite serious. The Public Service Commission has taken the time to write to the government about the shortcomings of your bill.
Mr. Adler, how do you respond to the Public Service Commission?
