Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Hello, and good afternoon.
I am happy to appear before you today, accompanied by Eva Jacobs, our general director for finances and administration, to discuss the Supplementary Estimates (A) of the Public Service Commission of Canada.
The Public Service Commission of Canada promotes and safeguards merit-based appointments. In addition to this, it protects the non-partisan nature of the public service in collaboration with our stakeholders throughout the public service.
The PSC reports to Parliament directly on its mandate. An Order in Council was recently passed, designating the president of the Queen’s Privy Council as the minister who will table our annual reports and other reports to Parliament on our behalf. We expect that our 2017-18 annual report will be tabled in early December.
I'm expecting it's going to be a very good read.
