Uncover the truth behind Canada’s government administration in our latest video, "Canada’s Government Administration is Broken: A Policy Roadmap by Dorothy Dobbie." Join us as we delve into the systemic issues plaguing public service, from political interference in candidate selection to the complexities of unionization and management hierarchies. Dorothy Dobbie outlines a compelling roadmap for reform, emphasizing the need for accountability, merit-based hiring, and a return to democratic processes within political parties.

Canada had one of the world’s most efficient and stable administrations. Career bureaucrats understood their roles and were dedicated and professional in their approach. They got their policy direction from their political masters and worked earnestly to find the best way to deliver good results. They took pride in doing their very best for their country, and this prompted excellence in their work.

Career public servants still exist. Their authority and opportunities for advancement have been increasingly usurped by the insertion of active and retiring political staffers, union rules that demand service to longevity in office over excellence, and identity politics, which imposes hiring quotas. The result is a top-heavy and unwieldy management system that does not work.
