It is a fantastic question, and it hits the nail on the head.
The problem with current political decision-making processes—not with respect to any particular government in this country—for years has been that we dither too long in making key decisions where we need to provide political authority, authorization and direction. The longer we wait, the narrower our margin to manoeuver gets and the fewer options we have in our tool box. We need decision-making processes that are more agile, and we need political decision-making processes that are faster in order to maximize the options available politically to the government and the instruments in terms of operations to achieve the effect that the government intends.
