That's why we have independent think tanks that accept no money from governments. Our goal is to push the envelope at the Frontier Centre. We hear from politicians privately that they agree with us, but it's very difficult to move the ball. Again that's our role. I think this can be framed in terms of lots of benefits for Canada if it's done right. I was once a civil servant and I know the story of bad systems and good people, and I think the government and every politician could do a lot by talking about having better public services and using better accounting. A lot of this stuff around infrastructure deficits is coming out of accounting issues, which can be fixed.
