Mr. Speaker, with respect, this kind of dismissive attitude is precisely what is wrong with the public service renewal plan.
If the government is really serious about recruiting future leaders to our public service, it needs to show respect to today's public servants.
Will the Prime Minister appoint, in addition to his high-powered friends, a member of today's public service to his advisory committee? We need to ensure this is not top-down and that we have a bottom-up approach. It is the sensible thing to do. Will the government please do that?
