I agree that complexity is everywhere now and that it's a challenge for parliamentarians to frame debates on matters of importance to Canadians.
Fiscal federalism is one element that shows this type of complexity. I think that the role of the Parliamentary Budget Officer and the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer is to look at complex areas in order to find decision points and risk points, and then report back to parliamentarians, setting aside the complexity aspect.
In other ways, I believe that the complexity of the government is hindering the delivery of the previously discussed programs and projects. I think that, given this type of complexity, parliamentarians must be in a good position to ask ministers and public servants the right questions so that they take into account the complexities and risks identified. It isn't just about communication points or risk communication. Let's put it that way.
