Slicing the Public Pie: A primer on data representations & issues surrounding their use @HealthCanada

The Canadian Federal Public Service

First and foremost, the Canadian Federal Public Service (FPS) is tied with the Government of Canada to provide "peace, order, and good government".  How do public servants contribute towards this?  According to section 12 of the Canadian Public Service Employment Act :

12. ...shall perform any functions in relation to the public service that are assigned to it by the Governor in Council.

In a nutshell, the FPS is charged with carrying out the functions/duties assigned to it by the government-of-the-day as well as the Queen's Privy Council for Canada.  Most duties are assigned on a functional basis within a government department according to management within the FPS. This means management within the FPS serves as the primary/initial clientele of data representations (even though it may be made public in the end). (For more information on Canada's Civil Service act and the Public Service Commission, move your pointer to the image on the right, then click on the link in the description box).
