Human resources management issues are the exclusive domain of the professional managers within the public service. I do not make those. Mr. Dussault reports to the Superintendent of Financial Institutions.

It is suggesting that politicians should influence personnel decisions within the public service. That would lead to the politicization of the public service, and I will not do that.
