The PSC as a Cautious Reformer: Staffing Reforms during the Mulroney Years: 1984-1993

From: Defending a Contested Ideal

$3.20

While it is clear that it resisted, with success, more radical institutional reforms that would have threatened its independence as the guardian of merit and nonpartisanship, it did favour significant reforms to staffing rules, seeking to ensure greater managerial flexibility.
