We need to have a comprehensive strategy. I think Ambassador Mulroney alluded to this continuous working in silos with one agency, as Professor Carvin points out, reaching out while another entity does not. It also requires a complete rethink of how we actually work in government, with a much more horizontal approach instead of the vertical implementation we currently have. As I think Ambassador Mulroney rightly pointed out, there is no good mindset in Ottawa when it comes to policy implementation. The minister loses interest; many of the senior civil servants lose interest, and they just pass it off to someone.
I think it requires an entire process, from devising a policy to actually executing that policy. It's a several-step process that needs to have much more consistent attention at all points throughout it. That would already be a very good beginning in terms of getting a more equitable approach.
