Since 1994, the Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC) has conducted a survey among Canadian Deputy Ministers (DM) to measure what administrative issues they considered the most important. Carried out in varying methods, the IPAC surveys present a unique longitudinal dataset that can shed light on the core focus of top administrative executives over the past 25 years. The results show a consistency in DM priorities. The tasks of preparing to respond strategically to improve service delivery and accountability are always present. The mission of managing human resources emerged in 1998 and has been a top priority ever since.Sommaire : Depuis 1994, l'Institut d'administration publique du Canada (IAPC) a mené une enquête auprès des sous-ministres canadiens (SM) pour mesurer les questions administratives qu'ils considéraient comme primordiales. Réalisées selon différentes méthodes, les enquêtes de l'IAPC présentent un ensemble de données longitudinales unique qui peut éclairer les priorités des hauts dirigeants administratifs au cours des 25 dernières années. Les résultats montrent une cohérence dans les priorités des SM. Les tâches de préparation à une réponse stratégique pour améliorer la prestation des services et la responsabilité sont toujours présentes. La mission de gestion des ressources humaines est née en 1998 et est depuis lors une priorité absolue.
