Focusing on 64¢ would be one example of micromanagement. It's not merely the fact of having too many regulations. The Auditor General said there was too much, as did Justice Gomery. The problem is not only the large number of regulations, but the climate in which all public servants work. If they are afraid of doing something, even something small, that is not authorized in a document of some sort, this can be very bad for relations between the government, members of Parliament, regardless of political affiliation, and Canadians.
As I said, micromanagement may not be the direct result, but rather the indirect result, of your studies. If you find that there are not enough regulations, that more laws, more audits and so forth are needed, then this will impact the way in which public servants perform their duties.
