Artur Wilczynski
It was a real pleasure to work with Shawn during his time as Director of Operations in the Office of the Minister of Public Safety. The relationship between exempt political staff and public servants is a complex one. Each having to balance the distinct responsibilities in the service of the Canadian public. Working with Shawn was always easy. He had excellent understanding of the complex issues that were part of the Public Safety Portfolio. He always asked the right questions, and was also able to provide the public service with timely and accurate information that reflected the Minister's perspective. A key component of Shawn's responsibilities was to ensure that we in the public service understood the broad policy direction issued by the Minister and to answer questions and to work collaboratively and in a complimentary way to advance key policy questions. It was also to ensure the effective planning for and attendance of the Minister of Public Safety at key public events and international discussions. Working together with Shawn on these types of activities was a very positive experience.

Shawn was an integral member in the President’s office who always led by example with his strong work ethic and ability to take a decision in a complex environment. As a newer member of the team, Shawn was always available to me for advice and guidance. This was helpful as Shawn has unparalleled insight into government and the business of the Treasury Board.
