I think, and this extends beyond the context of our research project, there's often a perception that when the Treasury Board Secretariat—where I worked for a number of years—comes up with a new set of rules, the departments start applying them immediately. The truth is, it takes many years for them to start improving their processes.
In my opinion, public disclosure can really make a difference. Rules that have no bearing outside the public service aren't very effective. It's always about improving public disclosure and having better data, particularly from proactive disclosure. Such tools can bring about positive change. As for the other measures, I'm not convinced that they will change things.
