Dear Mr. Cappe:
Thank you for your annual report on the Public Service
of Canada. I was pleased to read about the action that you and your
colleagues are taking to respond to the challenges of the knowledge economy
and society.
As I said in my reply to the Speech from the Throne on
January 31, 2001: "An activist government requires a first class
public service. I am proud of our public service. The government will take all
the steps necessary to ensure that we continue to have the talent necessary for
a public service that is committed to excellence. And we will make the necessary
reforms to modernize the public service for the requirements of the
21st century."

With our combined efforts, I am confident we will have in
place, as we move into the future, an institution that is even more innovative,
dynamic and reflective of the diversity of the country. A strong, professional,
non-partisan, bilingual and national Public Service will help the Government of
Canada fulfil its responsibilities and bring us closer to meeting our goal of
building a higher quality of life for all Canadians.
Together, we will succeed.
Yours sincerely,
