STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER

June 12, 2000
Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Jean Chrétien made the following statement on the occasion of National Public Service Week, June 11-17, 2000:

"National Public Service Week is much more than an occasion to celebrate the skill, wisdom and talent of the members of the Public Service of Canada. It is an opportunity for us to reflect on the professionalism and dedication of those men and women who have chosen to serve Canadians and whose many contributions continue to give to us an unparalleled quality of life.

I am constantly struck by the commitment to excellence of the members of the Federal Public Service. Each brings to his or her work an individual perspective and a diversity of experience. They give of their considerable talents to deliver service to Canadians, to develop the policies and laws by which we are governed and to protect and represent their nation.

During this Week, please join me in extending thanks to the members of the Public Service of Canada in every department and agency across the country whose devotion to their work better serves us all."
