NEW - Creating More, or Navigating Bureaucracy? The Prime Minister’s Dilemma
Description
Governments aren’t businesses — but sometimes they try to operate like one, with mixed results. Shane Hewitt and Matt Gurney explore why Canada’s bureaucracy feels broken, particularly when it comes to military procurement and political oversight.
The conversation highlights how inefficiencies in government agencies slow decision-making, why creating new agencies often adds layers instead of solutions, and how the Prime Minister faces unique challenges trying to navigate this system. Gurney also unpacks how a two-tier structure is quietly emerging in public services, leaving big questions about accountability and outcomes.
An unfiltered discussion about governance, reform, and the clash between business logic and political reality.
