Public Administration in Canadian government

Please answer question number 1 and question number 2 in TWO SEPERATE paragraphs: Question number 1:You should kick off the forum this week with a couple of sets of questions. Firstly, what is a central department (or agency) and how does it differ from a line department? Why, in Canada, do we organize the public service into central and line departments ?Secondly, I want you to link this week's topic to last week¡¯s discussion about the relationship between politicians and the public service. Last week, we addressed the arrangement in a typical operating department, working along the lines of the classic Westminster model of responsible government. This week, things have become much more complicated in terms of the relationship between government and the public service. Now, we are considering many different kinds of relationship ¨C crown corporation, special operating agency, central agency, and so on. Why do we have so many different kinds of relationship between government and public service organizations? Why not just use one model?

Draw on your learning, experience and own ideas here, as well as the text book, suggested readings and other sources, and comment on the importance of public administration in managing inter-governmental issues.
