Start off with a text on public administration like Understanding Canadian Public Administration or Thinking Government. After that you'll understand enough to be able to make effective use of other sources.
Read many chapters on both Thinking Government and Understanding Canadian Public Administration more than once. Both give very good pictures of public administration in Canada. I would also suggest Approaching Public Administration- Core Debates and Emerging Issues. I found Frank Ohemeng coverage of the numerous issues and debates in public administration to be really interesting.
