April 30: ‘Justin Trudeau … is more Canada’s chief information officer and cheerleader than an effective prime minister.’ Why isn’t the government working as it should? Plus other letters to the editor
: Former Privy Council clerk Kevin Lynch beautifully enumerates the shortcomings of the federal bureaucracy. Unfortunately, the underlying issue is that the culprits seem to have no incentive to change anything.
When I stop sobbing about these decades-old issues, I will say thanks again. As Mr. Lynch writes, “Execution is key.” But is it going to happen? How?I worked in the federal government for 10 years starting in the late 1970s. Even then, the bureaucracy was crippling and the role of central agencies was growing.
I hope that the leadership of this country wakes up and does something. The platitudes and blah, blah, blah is exhausting – and I believe in government. Others would be even more dismissive, not only of the government but of our democracy.As a former federal public servant, I saw firsthand the shift from policy implementation to an obsession with avoiding any issue that might attract public attention.
