Dear Prime Minister:

        Pursuant to the Public Service Employment Act, I am pleased to submit to you the Eleventh Annual Report to the Prime Minister on the Public Service of Canada.

        The Public Service of Canada has, in the past year, known numerous challenges and successes. During the upcoming year, we will continue to build on our strengths and current modernization initiatives while reinforcing the confidence of the public and parliamentarians in this important national institution.

        Our commitment to you and your government is to continue to strive for the highest professional and ethical standards of public service.

Yours sincerely,

Alex Himelfarb
