I'll try to help you a little. The entire issue of partisanship and the role of public servants in the political world is not the responsibility of Mr. Bloom and his organization, but rather that of the Public Service Commission of Canada, and is so under the act.
As regards political participation, I would say, to use the expression, that a kind of sliding scale applies. That depends somewhat on the place where the employee stands in the organization. A deputy minister, for example, cannot belong to a political party. However, the lower the person is in the hierarchy, the more possible it is. The fact remains that it is more up to the Public Service Commission of Canada to decide these questions.
