About 100 years ago, there was a great political debate and there was a decision that appointments would be free from ministerial direction and, hence, this unusual organization was created, the Public Service Commission — in that day it was the Civil Service Commission — that is independent from the direction of ministers with respect to appointments, assessment and non-partisanship.
Il y a une centaine d'années, la question des nominations a fait l'objet d'un important débat politique et il fut alors décidé qu'elles ne relèveraient plus des ministres. C'est pourquoi cet organisme inhabituel, la Commission du service civil, a été mis sur pied.
