{Public service losing its ability to provide policy advice, former top bureaucrat says}
OTTAWA — There are not a lot of policy ideas floating around Ottawa these days because cabinet ministers don’t ask for any and public servants may not be offering them.As Mel Cappe, one of Canada’s former top bureaucrats puts it, there is a “supply and demand” problem for ideas in public policy. On the supply side, there is a shrinking number of smart policy analysts and researchers in the public service. That’s exacerbated on the demand side, where ministers are not asking for evidence or advice.And to use the analogy of the free market further, Cappe argues the policy role of Canada’s public service is in a deep “secular decline” to which he sees no end in sight.“Ideology doesn’t need analysis, and if you have the answers you don’t need questions, and that’s where we are these days,” said Cappe, a longtime deputy minister and former clerk of the Privy Council Office. “The public service runs the risk of being in decline and if this continues to happen,[url=http://www.saclancelvente.fr]sac lancel pas cher[/url], Canadians will be worse off.”That idea vacuum was evident in last week’s throne speech, which laid out a “consumer-first agenda” that Cappe says was more in line with the ideology of individuals having the right to choose in the marketplace than evidence-based policy.“It wasn’t a speech from the throne that provided a strategic direction filled with ideas but rather was tinkering with minor issues,” he said.Cappe is delivering a guest lecture on this “supply and demand” public service at the University of Ottawa on Monday evening. Organizers at the Public Policy Forum say the lecture is attracting a lot of interest in a city that used to live on big ideas led by the latest evidence.“I think we are at a very important watershed in the evolution of the public service and its future role,” said Public Policy Forum president David Mitchell.Cappe believes a decline will leave Canadians worse off because they face public policy issues of a magnitude and complexity never confronted before — climate change, aging populations, labour shortages, Arctic sovereignty, energy and the list goes on.The government needs people who can “deconstruct” issues, consider options and make recommendations. If the government stops listening, he said, the public service will stop giving advice and will lose that skill.Cappe worries about ministers who come to the table with ready-made policies while public servants are ignored, told to implement them or asked to shape the evidence to support them.“Our problems have never been more complicated and we have never had better analytic tools to deal with them, but the government seems to be going in the other direction … and not asking for advice and counsel and losing the capacity to deal with those issues. … The problem is less (policy) is being done and ministers are coming in with the solutions.”
