The report shares stories of the many public servants whose hard work and dedication make our Public Service among the best in the world. These stories show how public servants make a real difference in the lives of Canadians – from advancing more open, transparent, and evidence- based decision-making, to finding better ways to deliver the services we all rely on. The report also deals candidly with challeng- es facing the Public Service, including findings of harassment and discrimination, and slow prog- ress in stabilizing the Phoenix pay system. The Government of Canada is working to make sure every employee gets the pay they are owed, and recognizes the tireless efforts of public servants to resolve pay issues as quickly as possible. The report sets the stage for ongoing dia- logue and discussion that will lead to continued renewal and improvement in the years to come. It outlines a new framework – Beyond2020 – that lays out a vision for a Public Service that is more agile, more inclusive, and better equipped to de- liver real results for Canadians.
