I don’t really buy the idea that these companies would be doing this out of a sense of duty.
What exactly are they being offered to loan an employee to the government and actually pay the government to do so.
You’re telling me major Canadian corporate institutions are unwilling to invest any resources in improving the national economic landscape? I’m shocked!
This is the exact same pattern that’s causing our productivity crisis in the first place, business complacency and lack of willingness to invest in anything.
Far from asking to borrow their staff, the national project we need is to find every way to threaten the entrenched parasitic monopolies that are letting Canada fall behind.
Canadian businesses just suck at recruiting talents in general.
„Because they would be lent to the government, their jobs would likely be guaranteed when they finish with the MPO, but they may have to return to an old role, and Canadian companies have not historically valued government experience when promoting.
In the U.S., meanwhile, secondments or new jobs at high-profile public offices, such as that of a district attorney, can advance a career.“
>The pay cut that younger staffers take also hits differently. Even though the MPO’s seasoned hires are also earning less relative to the private sector – Ms. Farrell is making between $577,000 and $679,000 annually over a four-year term, after making $6.7-million in 2020 during her last full year running TransAlta – younger staff may be saving for their first homes, or paying $3,500 a month in rent in downtown Toronto.
…
>Aware of this difference, the government has asked companies to consider topping up pay while their employees work for the MPO.
…
At the same time, several government employees have joined the MPO – at a recent committee hearing, Mr. Hodgson said four staffers from Natural Resources Canada have moved over – and they would make significantly less than colleagues topped up by the private sector
…
One idea being batted around is having the seconded [private-sector] employees earn government rates while with the MPO, but then offering outsized bonuses when they return to their sponsors.
Interesting parts that i’ve found from the article
The more I read this the more I’m falling in love with Quebec’s CDPQ and the Fonds de travailleurs. It’s almost like you have to tell the private sector what to do for them to actually deliver.
Lots of Canadian business are now foreign controlled since the 2000s merger mania. Add in neoliberal ideology and I’m not surprised. Peter Newman wrote about the death of the Canadian Establishment, an update on his books *The Establishment* in like 2010. Lots of board of directors are global in orientation, which is to stay they are stateless in orientation.
This is not the world of the $1 men who took on $1 salaries to fight WW2 by moving into the Crown Corps that made it happen. Tho I understand that scale of the problem is different but no one is asking for a $1 a year sacrifice to defend Canada so that scale of the ask is also different.

I think we should definitely ask why would an appointment to the MPO by the Crown harm your career?? Since the article is reporting on a perception in the elite targeted for recruitment that government/Crown service doesn’t count on a Canadian CV for anything. Which is a marked departure from periods in the, now pretty distant, past.
