I'm guessing again from messages I've received that a lot of this has to do with the very important fact that public servants are human beings, with ambitions and professional aspirations. If they are told they have an objective to reach and they have to deliver on that objective, and that if they don't, their promotion or bonus won't come forward, or whatever the compensation would be, their natural instinct is to try to hide problems in attaining whatever objective is given to them.
I'm trying to get at whether this is a possible explanation. As I've told you, I have at least three messages from public servants directly on my Facebook messenger of all places about these issues, about fear, of staff not being comfortable or feeling that their careers would be threatened if they went forward with alerts about things not going well or according to plan.
Is this part of something we will have to address as a committee in the report that we're going to make? Should we explore this? I'm throwing it out there and seeing if you heard the same complaints.
