Code of Conduct

On May 15, 2009, a new Code of Conduct for public servants and a new Conflict of Interest Policy took effect.

The introduction of this new Code of Conduct puts Nova Scotia in line with the Government of Canada, many Commonwealth countries and leaders in industry, who have adopted similar values based codes of conduct.

The five public service values - respect, integrity, diversity, accountability and the public good, serve as the foundation for the new Code of Conduct.

At the same time, government also introduced a new, stand-alone Conflict of Interest Policy to guide public servants on what to do in situations where a conflict may exist between an employee’s work-related duties and his or her private interests.

Code of Conduct booklets are available in English and French. To request booklets e-mail: PSC_CodeofConduct@gov.ns.ca or see below for the online version.
