Creating a Merit System: 1918-1944
From: Defending a Contested Ideal
$2.60
This chapter will explore three themes that characterized the Civil Service Commission’s struggle to create a merit system that would find broad support among Canadians between the two world wars. During this very difficult twenty-five-year period, the CSC tried to ensure that appointment was based on fairness and equity in terms of access, that the public service was operationally efficient and that public servants were not subject to politicization in terms of appointment or influence.
