Delegation: Overview
What's New
The Public Service Commission and the Canada Public Service Agency (CPSA) completed their Fall workshops on HR modernization to broaden the understanding of the Public Service Modernization Act. A feature of these workshops is the PSC presentations on selected subjects. For more information, please visit the CPSA website.
The EC Conversion Meeting presentation provides information regarding when an appointment process further to the PSEA is required.
Consultation
In the spirit of the preamble to the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA), the Public Service Commission (PSC) has maximized the delegation of appointment and appointment-related authorities to deputy heads of federal government departments and agencies. Deputy heads are encouraged to sub-delegate these authorities within their organization.
The PSC also oversees the political impartiality of the public service. It reviews the requests of public servants who require PSC permission to be candidates in federal, provincial, territorial and municipal elections.

Special Statutory Authorities
Under the PSEA, certain processes continue to be the responsibility of the PSC. These processes are:
- Granting exclusions and extensions under the Public Service Official Languages Exclusion Approval Order; and
- Managing the administration of priority persons.
