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

Public Service Standards

When discussing any number of topics pertaining to publically-funded institutions, their mission and values are paramount.  In the context of the Government of Canada; departments, agencies, and crown corporations all have a mission, mandate, and/or core values.  The intent behind them is to guide the scope of their activities and aid in prioritizing them.  Using Health Canada's mission as an example, they are largely concerned with providing quality health care services and responses to and on behalf of Canadians. Does this mean HC does not hire accountants to help with budgeting?  HC does, in fact hire many, even though HC is not in the business of counting beans.  It simply means they are there to help service HC's core activities - and are therefore open to more scrutiny.
