Most members of this committee know that I was at the Office of the Auditor General before taking up my position here at the Public Service Commission.
Neither the human resources planning framework nor the financial planning framework is very solid, and we would like to integrate these two frameworks. Some departments and agencies devote nearly three quarters of their budget to human resources. Having a truly integrated planning framework is major challenge.
The question as to whether or not organizations were ready to receive staffing authorities was important when we started making decisions on the delegations. The assessment allowed us to note a preliminary planning process. That is a beginning. Consequently, we will be devoting more efforts to oversight.
We will be carrying out more audits, because our role is to push and encourage people. Managers are responsible for the implementation of this process. That is not our job.
