Better analysis needed on balance of diplomats abroad and at home, says SajjanAs the Senate Foreign Affairs and International Trade Committee continues to investigate Canada’s foreign service machinery, the federal government has indicated it will consider the ideal balance of diplomats posted at headquarters in Ottawa and Canada’s “targeted presence” abroad. So far, the committee has conducted nine meetings for its fit-for-purpose study into the foreign service, hearing from senior officials in a handful of government departments, foreign policy experts, former diplomats, and most recently, International Development Minister Harjit Sajjan (Vancouver South, B.C.) on Nov. 3. Sajjan told the committee the government needs to assess how best to position diplomats abroad to deliver its programs. “We need to have a targeted presence abroad, including more boots on the ground in the right places working with local partners and civil society to meet development objectives,” he said, noting that nearly a decade after the amalgamation of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade with the Canadian International Development Agency, the government needs to “analyze if the current structure meets the uncertainty and challenges of today and also of the future.” Sajjan said that through “recruitment, training, and investment,” there is a need to foster expertise across all Global Affairs streams. “When it comes to the number of people around the world, this is something that we need to do a better analysis on,” he said, responding to a question on vacancies in postings abroad. “You need to make sure you have a balance between how many people we have in headquarters versus people on the ground,” he said. “Having the right people on the ground with the right delegated authorities is also just as important.” Global Affairs located in the Pearson Building on Sussex Drive is undergoing a capacity review of its foreign service.
