Democracy, not technocracy
My column this week on Loonie Politics looks at the expectations around the expert panel on the options analysis for the fighter jet replacements, along with the various calls for even more Auditor General investigations and the call for other officers of parliament and civil servants to take more of the powers away from the Prime Minister and cabinet, and notes the dangers of ceding power to unaccountable technocrats, which is antithetical to our system of ministerial responsibility and Responsible Government.
