Letter from the Clerk to the Prime Minister

March 31, 2003

Dear Prime Minister:

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

As public servants we take great pride in our vocation of service to fellow citizens and in the institution which we serve. Excellence is the standard that we set for ourselves in every aspect of our work. We know that the privilege of being a public servant is balanced by responsibility and accountability and that both of these features are based on the trust which Canadians place in us to serve on their behalf.

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

Yours sincerely,

Alex Himelfarb
