Proudly Serving Canadians

My hope in the end is that we achieve our goal and change the mindset, the culture of the public service.

I'm proud to be part of the change that's going on in the public service. To be part of defining how we'll do things better and be more responsive to Canadians.

I enjoy helping people and that's part of my job everyday. I just like being a representative of our government. I like the fact that when people come into this country and maybe the first dealing they have with our government it's a face like mine they're seeing and someone who’s trying their best to help them.

While developing and enforcing regulation doesn't always make you popular but those of us who do it know we're helping to keep Canadians safe.

People don't join the Public Service of Canada to get rich or to become famous. They quietly work away at making the country a better place.

I guess I really believe there are opportunities there for public servants to serve the public. And it's not just words. As levels of government and as educational institutions, we can really make a difference and to me that's what public service is all about.

I think we are becoming a new public service that can be proud of what we are.
