Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement on National Public Service Week, taking place from June 9-15, 2013:
“This National Public Service Week, I want to extend my appreciation to all federal public servants who serve with dedication, professionalism and commitment to the interests of Canadians.
“Canadians rely on the Public Service of Canada for a range of services in every region of the country and around the world: from providing timely support for veterans, to issuing passports, to helping Canadian businesses reach new markets, to patrolling our coasts and ensuring Canadians can enjoy our national historic sites.
“This year’s theme – Proudly Serving Canadians – is a fitting tribute to their dedication to our country. I look forward to continuing to work with our public service to enhance the prosperity and well-being of Canadians.”
