Today, the Prime Minister of Canada issued the following statement concerning National Public Service Week 2006.

“National Public Service Week offers Canadians the opportunity to recognize the contributions of our public service – the diverse talents, experience and dedication of the women and men who work to serve their fellow citizens and their country.

“Year after year you are called upon to administer and implement the far-reaching laws and policies of the Government of Canada – in a fair, impartial and wise manner for the benefit of all Canadians.

“Our success as a nation depends on the critical role that must be played by government, especially by a national government, which reflects the best practices and highest ideals of public service.

“We are fortunate in Canada to have a committed and principled public service staffed by highly skilled people. It is a tremendous advantage for this country, one that helps make Canada the best place in the world to live, work and raise a family.

“Canada’s new government believes in public service, both in the ideal and the institution.

“On behalf of our government and of all Canadians, I thank you for your hard work, your dedication and your professionalism.”
