Public Service 2000
First Annual Report to The Prime Minister on The Public Service of Canada

Clerk of the Privy Council and
Secretary to the Cabinet
Contents
June 30, 1992
Dear Prime Minister,
In my capacity as
head of the Public Service, I am pleased to submit to you this first Annual Report of the
Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet on the Public Service of Canada. I
also attach a companion volume entitled Public Service 2000: A Report on Progress.
In the 18 months
since the publication of the Government's White Paper on the Renewal of the Public
Service, much has happened that has affected the Public Service, and much has been done by
way of reform and renewal. I am pleased with the progress we have made. It reflects above
all the imagination and dedicated effort of many thousands of individual public servants.
If there is any credit due for what has been achieved, it belongs to them.
You will find in
the pages of this Report and its companion volume clear evidence of progress toward the
Public Service that Canadians will need in the years to come. You will see as well that
much remains to be done. The Public Service is one of Canada's great national
institutions. For more than 125 years, public servants have made a vital contribution to
building and sustaining this country. I am confident that the changes we are making today
to renew the Public Service will equip it to continue that vocation of service to the
Government and people of Canada.
Yours sincerely,
Paul M. Tellier
