Agencies, boards and commissions (ABCs) provide a range of services to our citizens, and it is imperative that they are accountable, transparent, and effective in their roles and mandate for Albertans. Accountability is strengthened through an effective, efficient, and highly functioning Public Agency Secretariat (PAS), Public Service Commission, capable of high-level collaboration, including providing direction and advice to public agencies and departments.

This includes ensuring adherence to legislation and policy e.g. Alberta Public Agencies Governance Act (APAGA); and, best practices established through policy.

Public agencies account for almost half of the government expenditures, and it is imperative that public agencies are accountable, transparent, and effective in their roles and mandate for Albertans.

The role of the PAS in achieving this vision is to build collaborative relationships with departments and public agencies to develop a continuous improvement approach in the areas of governance leading practices, policy, accountability, compensation, and recruitment.

A key function of the PAS, which this position is heavily involved, is to promote and monitor the implementation of good public agency governance as legislated through adherence to the Alberta Public Agencies Governance Act (APAGA) and through best practices set out in the Public Agencies Governance Policy (Policy).
