Population of the federal public service by age band and executive level

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

Source of information: Pay System as of March 31 of each year.
The federal public service consists of 2 population segments: the core public administration and separate agencies.
Departments and agencies in the core public administration are named in schedules I and IV of the Financial Administration Act. The Treasury Board is the employer of this segment of the federal public service.
Separate agencies are named in Schedule V of the Act. Separate agencies conduct their own negotiations or set their own classification levels for their employees.
Included in this information are:
- active employees of all employment tenures (indeterminate, term, casual and student)
- Governor in Council appointees
- deputy ministers
- federal judges
Excluded from this information are:
- inactive employees (i.e., employees on leave without pay)
- ministers’ exempt staff
- employees locally engaged outside of Canada
- RCMP Regular Force members
- RCMP Civilian members
- Canadian Armed Forces members
Population counts for the following separate agencies are not included because their employee information is not available in the Pay System:
- Canadian Security Intelligence Service
- National Capital Commission
- Canada Investment and Savings
- Canadian Forces Non-Public Funds
- Security Intelligence Review Committee (before 2010)
Data on executives in the federal public service include employees from the Executive group as well as executive equivalents within the separate agencies.
Executive equivalents in separate agencies were adjusted in 2016 and as a result, historical years have been adjusted according to this grouping and may not reflect previous figures provided in historical Demographic snapshot of Canada’s public service reports and Clerk of the Privy Council’s Annual Reports to the Prime Minister on the Public Service of Canada.
