I point this out because this is the same thing that happens in every company facing a structural change. It's logical that governments would be caught in the same loop.
I don't have an exact suggestion on your question as to whether they should be audited, but what I would say is that it's going to be hard to understand this if you don't understand all the connections to what's happening. It's a structural break, and nothing that governments do by playing by the old rules will solve it.
It's easy to point fingers and everything else, but the best businesses do exactly the same thing. When dealing with a structural break, they can't see that structural break and build to the future; they keep building to the past.
If you looked at all the economic models going back through history, they've never dealt with what we're dealing with going forward. It's logical to think that everybody who's sitting on top of that is sitting on top of the same problem. All of the advice that people are getting is sitting on top of the same problem.
If I had a stronger recommendation, I would put together a group of people who can see where this is going into the future, different thinking that can help the transition. Pointing fingers at the past, that's already done. It won't solve it. We need to think about how we can use this as an opportunity to build a better future for Canadians.
