Abstract

The public service faces two macro conditions that should be considered when tackling administrative and structural reforms: one, a growing lack of citizen trust in government and two, a view that the public service is increasingly irrelevant. While an ambitious public service reform agenda would require political support, tie up resources and potentially exhaust the institution, the cost of doing nothing may be greater than the cost of taking action to address the growing sense that the public service is not needed. A Clerk of the Privy Council led “Big R” reform initiative focused on long-term, sustainable and appropriate-to-the-times administrative and structural change should be pursued in three areas: improving government efficiency and effectiveness, responding to changing political expectations, and rebuilding trust and relevance in the institution.

加拿大公共服务的大R重置需要做什么(和不应该做什么)
公共服务面临着两个宏观条件,在进行行政和结构改革时应予以考虑:一是公民对政府日益缺乏信任,二是认为公共服务越来越无关紧要。尽管雄心勃勃的公共服务改革议程需要政治支持,占用资源,并可能使该机构精疲力竭,但无所作为的成本可能大于采取行动解决人们日益感到不需要公共服务的成本。由枢密院书记领导的“大R”改革倡议侧重于长期、可持续和适时的行政和结构变革,应在三个方面进行:提高政府效率和效力,响应不断变化的政治期望,重建对该机构的信任和相关性。
