Bureaucratic careers : anglophones and francophones in the Canadian Public Service / Christopher Beattie, Jacques Désy, Stephen Longstaff. : Z1-1963/1-2-11-PDF

"How well do the operations of the Public Service reflect the duality of Canadian society? This in the broadest sense is the question with which our study began. Like the governmental bureaucracies of other modern, affluent countries, the Canadian federal Public Service faces three requirements which organizations in the private sector do not always share: first, it must be open to and representative of the population it serves; second, it must be sensitive to the needs and wants of diverse population and interest groups; and third, it must provide services and information in an idiom that is understandable to the population at large. In this study it is the first problem—the problem of participation and representation—that engages our attention"--Introduction, page xliv.
