Let me try to give you a real, practical example. The most senior person responsible for aboriginal programming right now is a director general. The director general reports eventually to a senior deputy commissioner, but that director general doesn't get to sit at the decision-making table.
We can think about any organization and all the competing interests that any senior executive has. In terms of getting the right airtime, the right emphasis, the right knowledge base, it's expecting a little too much of a director general to be able to tell senior executives what they should be doing and the decisions they should be taking. You need to put somebody at that table who is a peer, a colleague, someone who has rank and is able to lead change, drive change, and be accountable for change.
