Mr. Speaker, we are lucky to have a world-class public service, which just last year was recognized as the most effective in the world.
We are working to change the culture in the public service following 10 years of Conservative government that muzzled scientists, used tax dollars for partisan advertising, and made irresponsible and ideologically driven cuts.
We were given a mandate to restore a culture of respect for and within Canada's non-partisan public service, and to instill a culture of experimentation, evidence-based policy, and implementation.
We will continue to work towards achieving that objective, and as the head of the public service said, there is still more work to do.
