Mona Fortier, president of the Treasury Board, which serves as the employer of federal bureaucrats, is pictured in Ottawa on Oct. 27, 2021, with her director of labour relations Jade Mallette. A reworking of the public service is long overdue, as is a Royal Commission, but Andrew Caddell writes that he doesn’t hold out much hope the Trudeau PMO will undertake it. But perhaps they are close enough to the public service to shake things up. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
