Senior bureaucrats don't get promoted to Deputy Ministers unless they play nice with the ruling government. In the past, it was the PCO's call mostly but with Harper it seems like the PMO is the more powerful office. Brazeau's Senate appointment, the inadequacies in funding and staffing the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, and proposed changes to post-secondary education funding demonstrate how "moved" Harper was. Nonetheless, the manufactured sincerity worked. Harper had no need to address Aboriginal issues during the election since he could ride on the coat tails of his "apology".<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('139509','Beijing York'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('139509','Beijing York','I\'m sure DM Wernick was given a memo drafted by the PMO.

Nonetheless, the manufactured sincerity worked. Harper had no need to address Aboriginal issues during the election since he could ride on the coat tails of his “apology”.
