A packed room of School of Policy Studies graduate students and members of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and Kingston community listened keenly to the stories and advice of Deputy Minister of Public Safety Malcolm Brown, the first speaker of the Fall 2018 School of Policy Studies 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Policy Talks카지노 게임 컬렉션� Series.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�At the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, we make decisions that impact Canadians카지노 게임 컬렉션� physical safety and environments. For example, at the Canadian Border Security Agency, 300 to 400 decisions are made every day on who to allow into the country,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Mr. Brown. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�In an emergency preparedness capacity, we카지노 게임 컬렉션�re responsible for planning for what we hope never happens, from natural disasters to threats to the continuity of government.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

A Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s alumnus, Mr. Brown (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�82) holds the most senior public service position at Public Safety, advising the Minister and acting as the connection between bureaucracy and politics. The department covers a large portfolio, including Correctional Services Canada, Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canadian Border Security Agency (CBSA), Parole Board of Canada and the RCMP. Mr. Brown spoke about the role he plays in public policy and the relationships he manages to keep the portfolio running efficiently.

The School of Policy Studies hosts Policy Talks, a weekly series that covers a broad range of policy topics. Mr. Brown카지노 게임 컬렉션�s opening talk for the series gave the audience a look behind the scenes of one of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s most high security departments.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I report directly to the Clerk of the Privy Council Office and support the Minister, and I manage the relationship between the Minister and the department,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Mr. Brown. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Deputy Ministers need to understand their Ministers to make this work. Figuring out how my Minister works and takes in information is crucial. If you don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t work together properly, you both operate in a vacuum.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s essential that I, as the Deputy Minister, am the most trusted public service advisor to the Minister. Transparency and respect between other leaders in the portfolio departments keeps stakeholders in the loop, while also allowing me to manage those relationships.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Audience members peppered the Deputy Minister with questions after his speech, including what it takes to be a leader in federal government.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Impatience,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�You can카지노 게임 컬렉션�t be satisfied with how things always are. You need to politely, and with respect, challenge the ways we카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve always done things.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
