Mission, Vision and Values

The Public Service Commission is dedicated to building a Public Service that strives for excellence. We protect merit, non-partisanship, representativeness and the use of both official languages.

We safeguard the integrity of staffing in the Public Service and the political impartiality of public servants. We develop policies and guidance for Public Service managers and hold them accountable for their staffing decisions. We conduct audits and investigations to confirm the effectiveness of the staffing system and to make improvements. As an independent agency, we report our results to Parliament.

We recruit talented Canadians to the Public Service, drawn from across the country. We continually renew our recruitment services to meet the needs of a modern and innovative Public Service.

Values to Guide Our Actions

In serving Parliament and Canadians, we are guided by and proudly adhere to the following values:

• Integrity in our actions;
• Fairness in our decisions;
• Respect in our relationships; and
• Transparency in our communications.
