  Transforming Government: Can it be Done?

  October 2, 2012, 7:45 am
  The Westin Ottawa,
  Ottawa

  The Honourable Tony Clement
  President of the Treasury Board,
  

  The Government of Canada has worked hard during the first year of its mandate to tackle the deficit, reign in costs and support a thriving business environment. As President of the Treasury Board, the Honourable Tony Clement played a central role in finding $5.2-billion in on-going savings for Canadian taxpayers. Under his watch, decades-old entitlements, like voluntary severance for public servants, have come to an end, representing an annual savings of $500-million alone. But there is more work to be done. As the House of Commons moves into its Fall session, the Government begins the challenging new task of finding innovative and common sense ways of providing value and improving services to Canadians. Minister Clement will spearhead this transformational effort as chair of the Sub-Committee on Government Wide Efficiencies and Business Transformation, announced by the Prime Minister in September. These efforts will bring a new eye and challenge status quo thinking on how government operates and how its serves Canadians. It will embrace technology and cut through the time-consuming bureaucratic red tape that dampens business innovation and kills job creation. It will seek excellence in the public service and a shift in culture. And it will open up previously undisclosed government data to the public to be used in new and innovative ways that can benefit Canadians. It is an exciting agenda. Please join Minister Tony Clement as he shares his vision for the next year and beyond.

  Maintaining Trust and Engagement in Canadian Elections: A Call to Action

  September 25, 2012, 11:45 am
  The Westin Ottawa,
  Ottawa

  Marc Mayrand
  Chief Electoral Officer of Canada,
  Elections Canada

  Canadians rightly have high expectations of their electoral system, as it is the cornerstone of their democracy. And yet, over the last two decades, Canada has witnessed a steady decline in democratic engagement, exemplified by declining rates of voter turnout, particularly among young Canadians. More recently, events during the last General Election demonstrate the need to not only improve Elections Canada’s administrative procedures, but to modernize the electoral process and the Canada Elections Act in order to ensure Canadians’ trust in their fairness and effectiveness. How do these issues come together and should they be a source of concern for the future of Canada’s democracy? Mr. Marc Mayrand, Chief Electoral Officer, will discuss these issues as he calls upon elected officials and leaders from all sectors of society to consider their role in maintaining the health of our democracy.
