Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued the following statement on National Public Service Week 2012:
“Over the past year, the Public Service of Canada has demonstrated its steadfast commitment to excellence, innovation and service to Canadians – from contributing to jobs and growth, to helping address natural disasters, to improving the way it does business.
“The theme of National Public Service Week this year is Celebrating our Commitment. As we work together in the years ahead to modernize the operations of Government, and build a more productive and leaner institution, Canadians can rest assured that the Public Service of Canada will continue to defend and promote Canada’s interests both at home and abroad.
“Today, on the 20th anniversary of Parliament passing the National Public Service Week: Serving Canadians Better Act, I would like to thank all public servants – both past and present and from coast-to-coast-to-coast – for their important contributions to our country.”
