JOHN JONES: Today, we’re going to be talking about the “end times and new times” and the transition period as we head our way to an election. We’re going explore the topic of how governments prepare for these new times. Joining us is our special guest Michael 12 / Canadian Government Executive // SPRING 2024 CGE LEADERSHIP SERIES LORI TURNBULL: Thank you, John, and thank you so much Michael, for joining us. We’re really excited about this. I’m going to start by giving you the floor Michael so you can share all you know about government transitions. We’re not at the transition time yet. It’s March 2024. I don’t think there’s Michael Wernick hold the Jarislowsky Chair in Public Sector Management at the University of Ottawa and is also the former Clerk of the Privy Council. He is uniquely suited to comment on the role of the public service during a time of government transition. Canada does transfers of power very well, largely because the permanent public service provides stability while the political government either changes hands or, in the event of a return of the incumbent, recalibrates after an election. In conversation with Lori Turnbull, he delves into this critical issue. PREPARING FOR CHANGE: Examining Government Transition Dynamics in Election Cycles Wernick, Jarislowsky Chair in Public Sector Management at the University of Ottawa, as well as Professor Lori Turnbull, Editor in Chief of Canadian Government Executive. Welcome to you both. This is this is a great topic. I’m looking forward today’s conversation.
