Dear Minister
I was delighted to meet you on April 28 2009 to discuss in general t~rms the contit of my second Annual Report and the shared responsibilities of various key players under the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act
Since our meeting I have appeared before the Standing Committee on Goverlment Operations and Estimates on May 12 as well as the Standing Committee on National Finance on May 26 2009 I am pleased to report that I have received very strong support for our approach in dealing with cases and our overall direction on prevention and education
In that respect your role and leadership continue to be instrumental I would appreciate meeting with you perhaps in the fall to discuss specific initiatives we plan to undertake in cooperation with the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer
In addition we do want to pursue actively some recommendations in our Annual Report that pertain to small federal agencies which remain vulnerable and have limited capacities I intend to have discussions with both the Clerk of the Privy Council and the Secretary of Treasury Board with a view to collectively find practical solutions Other key stakeholders such as the Council of Heads of Agencies will be also conSUlted
On another note I would like to seek your agreement to change the applied title that is used to designate my Office Before my appointment for the Federal Identity Program requirements the organization has been registered as follows Public Sector Integrity C3nada (PSIC) IlntE~grite du secteur public Canada (ISPC) Early on my mandate it has become clear that this title is not appropriate This title does not provide sufficient clarity about my role as an independent Agent of Parliament and is not in keeping with the titles of the offices of other Agents of Parliament Such a lack of clarity may lead some individuals to conclude that my Office is not independent

2
I therefore request that the applied title of the Office be changed to the following Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner I Commissariat a Iintegrite du secteur public This title is the one used in our Act (under Section 39)The acronym (PSIC in English and ISPC in French) would remain unchanged since the acronym is in use for government data systems and to change it would not be feasible
I wish you a fruitful end of parliamentary session and look forward to seeing you in the fall
Yours sincerely
Christiane Ouimet

Dear Ms Ouimet C _
I write in response to your letter of May 12009 in which you request legal assistance in relation to an investigation commenced in December 2008 by the Auditor General pursuant to section 14 of the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act (PSOPA) You wish to receive legal assistance pursuant to the Treasury Board Policy on Legal Assistance and Indemnification A copy of the Policy is appended hereto
The Policy provides that legal assistance requests by Crown servants relating to internal investigations are ineligible Under the Policy investigations under the PSDPA are considered internal to the operations of the public service Consequently I regret to inform you that your request is ineligible under paragraph 6111 of the Policy and cannot be tpproved
As you know the PSOPA provides that legal advice may be accessed by a person who is or has been involved in an investigation under the PSOPA Consequently you could choose to seek support for legal costs under the PSOPA
Should you have any questions respecting this decision please do not hesitate to contact my counsel Me Yvan Roy at (613) 957~5792

0~ Dear~rs In our 2008-09 AnlJua Report Building Trust Together A Shared Responsibility my Office highlighted in Chapter 1 a number of risks and vulnerabilities in Small Departments and Agencies (SDA) that could increase the risk of wrongdoing if left unaddressed Some risk-mitigation strategies were identified and we felt it was our responsibility to follow-up on them while respecting the distance required to be maintained in our role as an Agent of Parliament I had previously written to yourmiddot predecessor in this regard given the importance of these issues
The list of vulnerabilities was compiled based on discussions I had with a number of people during the first two years of my mandate as well as our own experience in facing the significant challenges of implementing new legislation creating a new institution and working to positively influence the culture of the public service This is not something that can be done overnight as I am sure you appreciate
Such a list is always somewhat subjectiv~ and we felt it was importanUovalidate it To do so my Office worked in close collaboration with Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada and Chair of the steering committee for the Heads of Federal Agencies who has played a critical leadership role in identifying and addressing the needs of SDAs He has been instrumental in coordinating efforts among key stakeholders and helping to ensure that SDAs have been afforded an effective voice

Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
From our perspective the meeting was very fruitful and we feel there is a joint commitment to act on a number of initiatives I intend to report on the progress achieved in my next annualreport
On a separate note consultations were also held with Executives (APEX) and Union participants on systemic problems that could give rise to wrongdoings Mr Tony Dean former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Ontario Public Service was instrumental in the facilitation of the consultations Valuable recommendations were

proposed that emphasized the critical importance of leadership in creating a culture that values and supports ethical behaviour Highlights from these ongoing consultations will also be featured in my 3rd Annual Report and will likely be discussed at a Symposium on integrity in p~blic institutions that we are currently planning for the fall of 2010
If you wish to discuss any of these issues and initiatives further I would be pleased to meet with you
Yours sincerely

0~ Dear~rs In our 2008-09 AnlJua Report Building Trust Together A Shared Responsibility my Office highlighted in Chapter 1 a number of risks and vulnerabilities in Small Departments and Agencies (SDA) that could increase the risk of wrongdoing if left unaddressed Some risk-mitigation strategies were identified and we felt it was our responsibility to follow-up on them while respecting the distance required to be maintained in our role as an Agent of Parliament I had previously written to yourmiddot predecessor in this regard given the importance of these issues
The list of vulnerabilities was compiled based on discussions I had with a number of people during the first two years of my mandate as well as our own experience in facing the significant challenges of implementing new legislation creating a new institution and working to positively influence the culture of the public service This is not something that can be done overnight as I am sure you appreciate
Such a list is always somewhat subjectiv~ and we felt it was importanUovalidate it To do so my Office worked in close collaboration with Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada and Chair of the steering committee for the Heads of Federal Agencies who has played a critical leadership role in identifying and addressing the needs of SDAs He has been instrumental in coordinating efforts among key stakeholders and helping to ensure that SDAs have been afforded an effective voice
12
-2shy
Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
From our perspective the meeting was very fruitful and we feel there is a joint commitment to act on a number of initiatives I intend to report on the progress achieved in my next annualreport
On a separate note consultations were also held with Executives (APEX) and Union participants on systemic problems that could give rise to wrongdoings Mr Tony Dean former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Ontario Public Service was instrumental in the facilitation of the consultations Valuable recommendations were

proposed that emphasized the critical importance of leadership in creating a culture that values and supports ethical behaviour Highlights from these ongoing consultations will also be featured in my 3rd Annual Report and will likely be discussed at a Symposium on integrity in p~blic institutions that we are currently planning for the fall of 2010
If you wish to discuss any of these issues and initiatives further I would be pleased to meet with you

0~ Dear~rs In our 2008-09 AnlJua Report Building Trust Together A Shared Responsibility my Office highlighted in Chapter 1 a number of risks and vulnerabilities in Small Departments and Agencies (SDA) that could increase the risk of wrongdoing if left unaddressed Some risk-mitigation strategies were identified and we felt it was our responsibility to follow-up on them while respecting the distance required to be maintained in our role as an Agent of Parliament I had previously written to yourmiddot predecessor in this regard given the importance of these issues
The list of vulnerabilities was compiled based on discussions I had with a number of people during the first two years of my mandate as well as our own experience in facing the significant challenges of implementing new legislation creating a new institution and working to positively influence the culture of the public service This is not something that can be done overnight as I am sure you appreciate
Such a list is always somewhat subjectiv~ and we felt it was importanUovalidate it To do so my Office worked in close collaboration with Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada and Chair of the steering committee for the Heads of Federal Agencies who has played a critical leadership role in identifying and addressing the needs of SDAs He has been instrumental in coordinating efforts among key stakeholders and helping to ensure that SDAs have been afforded an effective voice

Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
From our perspective the meeting was very fruitful and we feel there is a joint commitment to act on a number of initiatives I intend to report on the progress achieved in my next annualreport
On a separate note consultations were also held with Executives (APEX) and Union participants on systemic problems that could give rise to wrongdoings Mr Tony Dean former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Ontario Public Service was instrumental in the facilitation of the consultations Valuable recommendations were

proposed that emphasized the critical importance of leadership in creating a culture that values and supports ethical behaviour Highlights from these ongoing consultations will also be featured in my 3rd Annual Report and will likely be discussed at a Symposium on integrity in p~blic institutions that we are currently planning for the fall of 2010
If you wish to discuss any of these issues and initiatives further I would be pleased to meet with you
Yours sincerely

cPrivy Council Office Langevin - Room 332 Langevin Block 80 Wellington Street Ottawa Ontario K1AOA3
0~ Dear~rs In our 2008-09 AnlJua Report Building Trust Together A Shared Responsibility my Office highlighted in Chapter 1 a number of risks and vulnerabilities in Small Departments and Agencies (SDA) that could increase the risk of wrongdoing if left unaddressed Some risk-mitigation strategies were identified and we felt it was our responsibility to follow-up on them while respecting the distance required to be maintained in our role as an Agent of Parliament I had previously written to yourmiddot predecessor in this regard given the importance of these issues
The list of vulnerabilities was compiled based on discussions I had with a number of people during the first two years of my mandate as well as our own experience in facing the significant challenges of implementing new legislation creating a new institution and working to positively influence the culture of the public service This is not something that can be done overnight as I am sure you appreciate
Such a list is always somewhat subjectiv~ and we felt it was importanUovalidate it To do so my Office worked in close collaboration with Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada and Chair of the steering committee for the Heads of Federal Agencies who has played a critical leadership role in identifying and addressing the needs of SDAs He has been instrumental in coordinating efforts among key stakeholders and helping to ensure that SDAs have been afforded an effective voice

-2shy
Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
From our perspective the meeting was very fruitful and we feel there is a joint commitment to act on a number of initiatives I intend to report on the progress achieved in my next annualreport
On a separate note consultations were also held with Executives (APEX) and Union participants on systemic problems that could give rise to wrongdoings Mr Tony Dean former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Ontario Public Service was instrumental in the facilitation of the consultations Valuable recommendations were

proposed that emphasized the critical importance of leadership in creating a culture that values and supports ethical behaviour Highlights from these ongoing consultations will also be featured in my 3rd Annual Report and will likely be discussed at a Symposium on integrity in p~blic institutions that we are currently planning for the fall of 2010
If you wish to discuss any of these issues and initiatives further I would be pleased to meet with you
Yours sincerely

cPrivy Council Office Langevin - Room 332 Langevin Block 80 Wellington Street Ottawa Ontario K1AOA3
0~ Dear~rs In our 2008-09 AnlJua Report Building Trust Together A Shared Responsibility my Office highlighted in Chapter 1 a number of risks and vulnerabilities in Small Departments and Agencies (SDA) that could increase the risk of wrongdoing if left unaddressed Some risk-mitigation strategies were identified and we felt it was our responsibility to follow-up on them while respecting the distance required to be maintained in our role as an Agent of Parliament I had previously written to yourmiddot predecessor in this regard given the importance of these issues
The list of vulnerabilities was compiled based on discussions I had with a number of people during the first two years of my mandate as well as our own experience in facing the significant challenges of implementing new legislation creating a new institution and working to positively influence the culture of the public service This is not something that can be done overnight as I am sure you appreciate
Such a list is always somewhat subjectiv~ and we felt it was importanUovalidate it To do so my Office worked in close collaboration with Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada and Chair of the steering committee for the Heads of Federal Agencies who has played a critical leadership role in identifying and addressing the needs of SDAs He has been instrumental in coordinating efforts among key stakeholders and helping to ensure that SDAs have been afforded an effective voice

Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
From our perspective the meeting was very fruitful and we feel there is a joint commitment to act on a number of initiatives I intend to report on the progress achieved in my next annualreport
On a separate note consultations were also held with Executives (APEX) and Union participants on systemic problems that could give rise to wrongdoings Mr Tony Dean former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Ontario Public Service was instrumental in the facilitation of the consultations Valuable recommendations were

proposed that emphasized the critical importance of leadership in creating a culture that values and supports ethical behaviour Highlights from these ongoing consultations will also be featured in my 3rd Annual Report and will likely be discussed at a Symposium on integrity in p~blic institutions that we are currently planning for the fall of 2010
If you wish to discuss any of these issues and initiatives further I would be pleased to meet with you
Yours sincerely

Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet Office of the Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet
cPrivy Council Office Langevin - Room 332 Langevin Block 80 Wellington Street Ottawa Ontario K1AOA3
0~ Dear~rs In our 2008-09 AnlJua Report Building Trust Together A Shared Responsibility my Office highlighted in Chapter 1 a number of risks and vulnerabilities in Small Departments and Agencies (SDA) that could increase the risk of wrongdoing if left unaddressed Some risk-mitigation strategies were identified and we felt it was our responsibility to follow-up on them while respecting the distance required to be maintained in our role as an Agent of Parliament I had previously written to yourmiddot predecessor in this regard given the importance of these issues
The list of vulnerabilities was compiled based on discussions I had with a number of people during the first two years of my mandate as well as our own experience in facing the significant challenges of implementing new legislation creating a new institution and working to positively influence the culture of the public service This is not something that can be done overnight as I am sure you appreciate
Such a list is always somewhat subjectiv~ and we felt it was importanUovalidate it To do so my Office worked in close collaboration with Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada and Chair of the steering committee for the Heads of Federal Agencies who has played a critical leadership role in identifying and addressing the needs of SDAs He has been instrumental in coordinating efforts among key stakeholders and helping to ensure that SDAs have been afforded an effective voice
12
-2shy
Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
From our perspective the meeting was very fruitful and we feel there is a joint commitment to act on a number of initiatives I intend to report on the progress achieved in my next annualreport
On a separate note consultations were also held with Executives (APEX) and Union participants on systemic problems that could give rise to wrongdoings Mr Tony Dean former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Ontario Public Service was instrumental in the facilitation of the consultations Valuable recommendations were

proposed that emphasized the critical importance of leadership in creating a culture that values and supports ethical behaviour Highlights from these ongoing consultations will also be featured in my 3rd Annual Report and will likely be discussed at a Symposium on integrity in p~blic institutions that we are currently planning for the fall of 2010
If you wish to discuss any of these issues and initiatives further I would be pleased to meet with you
Yours sincerely

Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet Office of the Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet
cPrivy Council Office Langevin - Room 332 Langevin Block 80 Wellington Street Ottawa Ontario K1AOA3
0~ Dear~rs In our 2008-09 AnlJua Report Building Trust Together A Shared Responsibility my Office highlighted in Chapter 1 a number of risks and vulnerabilities in Small Departments and Agencies (SDA) that could increase the risk of wrongdoing if left unaddressed Some risk-mitigation strategies were identified and we felt it was our responsibility to follow-up on them while respecting the distance required to be maintained in our role as an Agent of Parliament I had previously written to yourmiddot predecessor in this regard given the importance of these issues
The list of vulnerabilities was compiled based on discussions I had with a number of people during the first two years of my mandate as well as our own experience in facing the significant challenges of implementing new legislation creating a new institution and working to positively influence the culture of the public service This is not something that can be done overnight as I am sure you appreciate
Such a list is always somewhat subjectiv~ and we felt it was importanUovalidate it To do so my Office worked in close collaboration with Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada and Chair of the steering committee for the Heads of Federal Agencies who has played a critical leadership role in identifying and addressing the needs of SDAs He has been instrumental in coordinating efforts among key stakeholders and helping to ensure that SDAs have been afforded an effective voice

-2shy
Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
From our perspective the meeting was very fruitful and we feel there is a joint commitment to act on a number of initiatives I intend to report on the progress achieved in my next annualreport
On a separate note consultations were also held with Executives (APEX) and Union participants on systemic problems that could give rise to wrongdoings Mr Tony Dean former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Ontario Public Service was instrumental in the facilitation of the consultations Valuable recommendations were

proposed that emphasized the critical importance of leadership in creating a culture that values and supports ethical behaviour Highlights from these ongoing consultations will also be featured in my 3rd Annual Report and will likely be discussed at a Symposium on integrity in p~blic institutions that we are currently planning for the fall of 2010
If you wish to discuss any of these issues and initiatives further I would be pleased to meet with you
Yours sincerely

cPrivy Council Office Langevin - Room 332 Langevin Block 80 Wellington Street Ottawa Ontario K1AOA3
0~ Dear~rs In our 2008-09 AnlJua Report Building Trust Together A Shared Responsibility my Office highlighted in Chapter 1 a number of risks and vulnerabilities in Small Departments and Agencies (SDA) that could increase the risk of wrongdoing if left unaddressed Some risk-mitigation strategies were identified and we felt it was our responsibility to follow-up on them while respecting the distance required to be maintained in our role as an Agent of Parliament I had previously written to yourmiddot predecessor in this regard given the importance of these issues
The list of vulnerabilities was compiled based on discussions I had with a number of people during the first two years of my mandate as well as our own experience in facing the significant challenges of implementing new legislation creating a new institution and working to positively influence the culture of the public service This is not something that can be done overnight as I am sure you appreciate
Such a list is always somewhat subjectiv~ and we felt it was importanUovalidate it To do so my Office worked in close collaboration with Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada and Chair of the steering committee for the Heads of Federal Agencies who has played a critical leadership role in identifying and addressing the needs of SDAs He has been instrumental in coordinating efforts among key stakeholders and helping to ensure that SDAs have been afforded an effective voice
12
-2shy
Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
From our perspective the meeting was very fruitful and we feel there is a joint commitment to act on a number of initiatives I intend to report on the progress achieved in my next annualreport
On a separate note consultations were also held with Executives (APEX) and Union participants on systemic problems that could give rise to wrongdoings Mr Tony Dean former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Ontario Public Service was instrumental in the facilitation of the consultations Valuable recommendations were

proposed that emphasized the critical importance of leadership in creating a culture that values and supports ethical behaviour Highlights from these ongoing consultations will also be featured in my 3rd Annual Report and will likely be discussed at a Symposium on integrity in p~blic institutions that we are currently planning for the fall of 2010
If you wish to discuss any of these issues and initiatives further I would be pleased to meet with you
Yours sincerely

0~ Dear~rs In our 2008-09 AnlJua Report Building Trust Together A Shared Responsibility my Office highlighted in Chapter 1 a number of risks and vulnerabilities in Small Departments and Agencies (SDA) that could increase the risk of wrongdoing if left unaddressed Some risk-mitigation strategies were identified and we felt it was our responsibility to follow-up on them while respecting the distance required to be maintained in our role as an Agent of Parliament I had previously written to yourmiddot predecessor in this regard given the importance of these issues
The list of vulnerabilities was compiled based on discussions I had with a number of people during the first two years of my mandate as well as our own experience in facing the significant challenges of implementing new legislation creating a new institution and working to positively influence the culture of the public service This is not something that can be done overnight as I am sure you appreciate
Such a list is always somewhat subjectiv~ and we felt it was importanUovalidate it To do so my Office worked in close collaboration with Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada and Chair of the steering committee for the Heads of Federal Agencies who has played a critical leadership role in identifying and addressing the needs of SDAs He has been instrumental in coordinating efforts among key stakeholders and helping to ensure that SDAs have been afforded an effective voice

-2shy
Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
From our perspective the meeting was very fruitful and we feel there is a joint commitment to act on a number of initiatives I intend to report on the progress achieved in my next annualreport
On a separate note consultations were also held with Executives (APEX) and Union participants on systemic problems that could give rise to wrongdoings Mr Tony Dean former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Ontario Public Service was instrumental in the facilitation of the consultations Valuable recommendations were

proposed that emphasized the critical importance of leadership in creating a culture that values and supports ethical behaviour Highlights from these ongoing consultations will also be featured in my 3rd Annual Report and will likely be discussed at a Symposium on integrity in p~blic institutions that we are currently planning for the fall of 2010
If you wish to discuss any of these issues and initiatives further I would be pleased to meet with you
Yours sincerely

0~ Dear~rs In our 2008-09 AnlJua Report Building Trust Together A Shared Responsibility my Office highlighted in Chapter 1 a number of risks and vulnerabilities in Small Departments and Agencies (SDA) that could increase the risk of wrongdoing if left unaddressed Some risk-mitigation strategies were identified and we felt it was our responsibility to follow-up on them while respecting the distance required to be maintained in our role as an Agent of Parliament I had previously written to yourmiddot predecessor in this regard given the importance of these issues
The list of vulnerabilities was compiled based on discussions I had with a number of people during the first two years of my mandate as well as our own experience in facing the significant challenges of implementing new legislation creating a new institution and working to positively influence the culture of the public service This is not something that can be done overnight as I am sure you appreciate
Such a list is always somewhat subjectiv~ and we felt it was importanUovalidate it To do so my Office worked in close collaboration with Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada and Chair of the steering committee for the Heads of Federal Agencies who has played a critical leadership role in identifying and addressing the needs of SDAs He has been instrumental in coordinating efforts among key stakeholders and helping to ensure that SDAs have been afforded an effective voice

Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
From our perspective the meeting was very fruitful and we feel there is a joint commitment to act on a number of initiatives I intend to report on the progress achieved in my next annualreport
On a separate note consultations were also held with Executives (APEX) and Union participants on systemic problems that could give rise to wrongdoings Mr Tony Dean former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Ontario Public Service was instrumental in the facilitation of the consultations Valuable recommendations were

proposed that emphasized the critical importance of leadership in creating a culture that values and supports ethical behaviour Highlights from these ongoing consultations will also be featured in my 3rd Annual Report and will likely be discussed at a Symposium on integrity in p~blic institutions that we are currently planning for the fall of 2010
If you wish to discuss any of these issues and initiatives further I would be pleased to meet with you
Yours sincerely

0~ Dear~rs In our 2008-09 AnlJua Report Building Trust Together A Shared Responsibility my Office highlighted in Chapter 1 a number of risks and vulnerabilities in Small Departments and Agencies (SDA) that could increase the risk of wrongdoing if left unaddressed Some risk-mitigation strategies were identified and we felt it was our responsibility to follow-up on them while respecting the distance required to be maintained in our role as an Agent of Parliament I had previously written to yourmiddot predecessor in this regard given the importance of these issues
The list of vulnerabilities was compiled based on discussions I had with a number of people during the first two years of my mandate as well as our own experience in facing the significant challenges of implementing new legislation creating a new institution and working to positively influence the culture of the public service This is not something that can be done overnight as I am sure you appreciate
Such a list is always somewhat subjectiv~ and we felt it was importanUovalidate it To do so my Office worked in close collaboration with Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Officer of Parks Canada and Chair of the steering committee for the Heads of Federal Agencies who has played a critical leadership role in identifying and addressing the needs of SDAs He has been instrumental in coordinating efforts among key stakeholders and helping to ensure that SDAs have been afforded an effective voice

Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
From our perspective the meeting was very fruitful and we feel there is a joint commitment to act on a number of initiatives I intend to report on the progress achieved in my next annualreport
On a separate note consultations were also held with Executives (APEX) and Union participants on systemic problems that could give rise to wrongdoings Mr Tony Dean former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Ontario Public Service was instrumental in the facilitation of the consultations Valuable recommendations were

proposed that emphasized the critical importance of leadership in creating a culture that values and supports ethical behaviour Highlights from these ongoing consultations will also be featured in my 3rd Annual Report and will likely be discussed at a Symposium on integrity in p~blic institutions that we are currently planning for the fall of 2010
If you wish to discuss any of these issues and initiatives further I would be pleased to meet with you

Further and to maintain impartiality we also partnered with Scott Serson a retired public sector Deputy Minister and former President of the Public Service Commission of Canada who agreed to take on the project of interviewing key stakeholders to learn more about work currently underway to identify possible solutions to targeted problems and to uncover any additional issues
In his Findings and Conclusions (see deck enclosed) Mr Serson confirmed the following
bull Reactions to PSIC Chapter 1 were very positive and considered as having raised the bar on SDA concerns and galvanized more action on them
bull From the point of view of those working in small departments and agencies there appear to be two primary concerns at this point 1
D While there has been progress on some elements of previous reports over the years it seems slow given the challenges they face and
D The current fiscal pressures on Govemment could lead to a scaling back of work underway and indeed to new demands on SDAs as part of an effort to eliminate the deficit
Central Agencies have to playa key role in coordinating and championing initiatives to address the risks in SDAs To tlJis end we recently met with the Secretary of the Treasury Board Michelle dAuray and the Chief Human Resources Officer Daphne Meredith to debrief them on the results of the stakeholder interviews The proposed strategies highlighted in our Annual report may not be new nor revolutionary (some of them have been discussed for quite a while eg shared services) However we believe that it is important to focus resources time and energy on the efficient delivery of a smaller number of commitments in order to demonstrate meaningful results
Some of the initiatives to advance the SDA agenda include
bull Developing a plan to provide all SDAs with much needed and adequate shared services
bull Providing a clear and systematic portfolio engagement approach bull Broadening the orientation scope for new appointees and bull Establishing a roster of experts andor pathfinding service to identify sources of ad~cemiddot
