Comparing policy design characteristics, this article points to converging features of these interventions in Canada: a focus on information provision and access as well as a representation of the city as an inclusive and progressive space. The distinctive characteristics of these interventions, as compared to the sanctuary policies in other national contexts, point to the need to consider alternative contextual drivers of local involvement toward this issue: response to long periods of policy devolution as well as use of sanctuary to bolster urban competitiveness and legitimacy for local governments.</p>","PeriodicalId":46145,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Administration-Administration Publique Du Canada","volume":"65 4","pages":"629-646"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44217418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Canadian public sector had developed many of the tools needed to act with agility to support the government agenda response to these challenges. With the consent of political parties, Parliament modified its operations and passed empowering legislation to provide the executive branch with sweeping powers to act. In this turbulent time, government accountability was delayed but never forgotten as a series of conversations with senior public servants revealed. This article delves into those reflections on the first year of the pandemic to discern how government operations changed and how both Parliament and the public sector can adapt to ensure that government can act effectively and efficiently but be held accountable for its decisions as it addresses more complex policy challenges in future.</p>","PeriodicalId":46145,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Administration-Administration Publique Du Canada","volume":"65 3","pages":"497-515"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42950441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyzing the use of traditional knowledge in classifying endangered species shows that although Indigenous individuals and organizations are systematically consulted, traditional knowledge is rarely a factor in impact assessments.

While there exists a solid understanding of the roles and functions of Deputy Ministers, there is little perception of how individuals actually shape the position in terms of time management. Understanding how senior executives in Canadian public service organize their time is critical to an appreciation of how they prioritize their functions. Using results from a 2020 survey, this study documents how Deputy Ministers in Canada divide their weeks in terms of personal work and meetings.

We demonstrate a dramatic increase in not only the overall complement of EC staff over time, particularly since 2017, but also significant growth at senior levels while junior EC staff have remained stable or declined.

{"title":"COVID-19, digitization and hybrid workspaces: A critical inflection point for public sector governance and workforce development","authors":"Jeffrey Roy","doi":"10.1111/capa.12475","DOIUrl":"10.1111/capa.12475","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Whereas the physical office setting has long been the bedrock of public sector operations, COVID-19 starkly disrupted this enduring reality with an unprecedented reliance on remote work arrangements through parts of 2020 and 2021. As Ruth Porat of Google observed, bringing workers back to the office would prove a good deal more complex than sending them home. This caution is reflected in numerous professional and Statistics Canada surveys (further summarized below) that reveal a diverse set of attitudes and preferences in terms of where, when, and how to undertake professional responsibilities. If there is any broad takeaway from the pandemic, it lies in the absence of uniformity of what workers desire going forward as well as what individuals and organizations deem as optimal (Duxbury in Evans, &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;; Roy, &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Looking ahead, the essence of a hybrid organization and workforce goes beyond binary choices between working in a physical office or working remotely. Ideally, and in contrast to both remote work prior to COVID-19 and predominantly virtual teams during COVID-19, hybrid models enable the seamless alignment of both in-person and virtual settings within innovative and flexible workspaces designed to strengthen both individual and collective performance capacities. In reality, governments are struggling to devise optimal hybrid mixes, accentuating workforce challenges that were apparent prior to the pandemic (Clarke, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; Cukier, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; Roy, &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In canvassing federal and provincial government pronouncements throughout 2021 and early 2022, there does seem to be widening agreement on the need for flexibility and adaption going forward, with the Government of Canada, for example, committed to developing hybrid frameworks and models in manners expected to deviate across departments and agencies. One CBC News investigation profiled the varying and still-nascent hybrid responses of federal entities (Kupfer, &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). In 2021, the Bank of Canada announced a permanent hybrid model for its staff—while in the private sector, Ottawa-based Shopify has declared an end to the era of office-centricity. Canadian banks have also announced varying plans to embrace hybrid strategies, with both financial services and technology two important industries in terms of the public sector's competition for managerial talent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Within this evolving context, the purpose of this brief article is threefold: first, to present some emerging pandemic trends in terms of attitudes and expectations of Canadian public servants; second, to propose three key design principles for leveraging the hybrid opportunity as a basis for governance innovation and strengthened workforce development; and third, to put forth some guidance for how the relevance, utility, deployment, and impacts of these principles can be better examined and assessed by scholars and students of public administration.","PeriodicalId":46145,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Administration-Administration Publique Du Canada","volume":"65 3","pages":"569-575"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9349511/pdf/CAPA-9999-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40704479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
