Hunt for Sabia’s replacement will likely begin by reviewing the current roster of deputy ministers and whittling it down based on years of experience, former officials say
It is a key position that involves leading the government’s budgeting efforts, overseeing the launch of major programs and dealing with the many economic surprises that spring up each year, both at home and internationally.
The former officials said the hunt likely begins by reviewing the current roster of deputy ministers and whittling it down based on years of experience, whether they’ve spent time in senior roles at the Finance Department and their personal rapport with Prime Minister, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and their fellow DMs. Experience assisting cabinet in senior roles at the Privy Council Office is also viewed as an asset.
Ms. Wilkins is now outside of government, sitting on the Intact board of directors, acting as a member of a Bank of England financial-policy committee and working as a visiting senior research scholar at Princeton University. She left the bank in late 2020. Her lack of experience leading a department as a deputy minister is viewed as a drawback.
Marci Surkes, who was executive director of policy and cabinet affairs in the Prime Minister’s Office from 2019-22, said the government will be looking for someone who can provide broad policy analysis and who could potentially lead the public service as PCO Clerk in the future.
