Why does the policy put several restrictions on sub-delegation when the Public Service Modernization Act encourages delegation to the lowest possible level?
The majority of the policy components can be sub-delegated. However, to ensure appropriate accountability, some elements remain solely the deputy head’s authority. These are elements that are exceptional in nature, such as an increase in salary above the normal 5%, special deployments in non-classified duties and the authorization of the classification of executive positions. Anything that is within normal standards can be sub-delegated.
