That is precisely the message that I am sending directly to the universities. It is even more important now, because the public service is recruiting to renew itself. This is a very important time to send out the message, and I do so every time the opportunity arises. When I travel across the country, I make sure to meet with university representatives in order to pass this message on to them. I have already met with the committee of deputy ministers that is considering the issue of public service renewal.
On January 31st, 2008. See this statement in context.
