Daniel Tucker has been appointed to the position of part-time Commissioner of the Public Service Commission of Canada (PSC), for a seven-year term, effective January 15, 2013. This appointment was made by the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Prime Minister.

The PSC is responsible for promoting and safeguarding, in the federal public service, merit-based appointments that are free from political influence and, in collaboration with other stakeholders, for protecting the non-partisan nature of the federal public service. It reports independently on its mandate to Parliament. The PSC also administers programs on behalf of departments and agencies that recruit qualified Canadians from across the country.

Under the delegated, values-based staffing system, the PSC fulfills its responsibilities by providing clear policy direction, conducting effective oversight, delivering innovative staffing and assessment programs and services, and reporting to Parliament on the performance of the staffing system and non-partisanship in the public service.

The Commissioners provide strategic direction to shape the Commission’s role to protect merit and non-partisanship and the use of both official languages in a staffing context, while ensuring respect for the values of fairness, access, transparency and representativeness.
