The public sector in Canada is under tremendous pressure. Changing demographics, a vital need for investment in public infrastructure, and the health care funding crisis have all contributed to the growing number of issues facing provincial governments. The provinces are at the frontlines of many of the services that Canadians have grown to expect, yet their ability to ensure service delivery is threatened. By embracing the idea of change, provincial governments can adapt their roles to better respond to mounting pressures.

In this edition of Deloitte Canada Insights, Paul Macmillan, national public sector leader, shares the findings of a research study that examines the challenges facing today's provincial governments. Discover how the provinces can turn the change imperative to their advantage, as they prepare to transform themselves into more effective and responsive governments.
