A Conservative government will:• Establish a Public Appointments Commission to set merit-based requirements for appointments to government boards,commissions, and agencies, to ensure that competitions for posts are widely publicized and fairly conducted.
It was interesting, thus, to read this morning that the Conservatives have no plan to cleanse partisanship from government appointments and will use the promised Public Appointments Commission to ensure their qualified friends get the jobs, according to Pierre Poilievre.
Poilievre, parliamentary secretary to Treasury Board President Vic Toews, said the government won't appoint people who don't agree with its agenda. "We will be appointing people who will further that agenda. That is nothing new. In fact, it's worth saying twice: We are going to appoint people who agree with the agenda we intend to implement," said Poilievre, during a Commons government operations committee meeting.
This, from a government that has tried to interfere in judicial appointments, tilting other quasi-judicial panels to the right, and sacking the President of the Wheat Board and the Environmental AG because they were critical of the world according to Steve.
