For immediate release
October 21, 2005

OTTAWA - The Honourable Reg Alcock, President of the Treasury Board today announced his intent to establish an external Oversight Committee on the Implementation of Public Service Management Reform.

"The Oversight Committee will give the government the benefit of views, experience and advice of experts external to the government on measures for, and overall progress in, modernizing public sector management," said Alcock.

The mandate of the Oversight Committee will be twofold:

  • To advise the President of the Treasury Board on the overall direction, scope, pace and individual measures of the Government's plan to modernize public sector management; and
  • To monitor the government's progress in implementing its plan to modernize public sector management.

The Oversight Committee will report annually on the government's progress in implementing its management reforms.

The individuals that will form part of the Oversight Committee on the Implementation of Public Service Management Reform will reflect a diversity of individuals, expertise and experience in private and public sector management. Membership will be drawn from business, labour and academic communities, former Members of Parliament and former deputy ministers.
