Foreign Minister launches a major overhaul of Global Affairs hobbled by a risk averse culture, lack of expertise and recruitment issues.
Joly promised that Canada would boost the number of diplomats it has at international organizations such as the United Nations as well as a slew of countries across the world, though she did not name which ones.
In her report and her speech, she promised to increase and improve recruitment, make the department less management-heavy, provide it with more opportunities for language training and specialization as well as boost supports for diplomats’ families. “We need to build a workforce that is skilled, that is bilingual, that is healthy, and that is dedicated to excellence.”
