Juno News - How many Liberal ministers does it take to change a light bulb？

00:00:00.000 Justin Trudeau and his government have finally acknowledged that they have a problem when it

00:00:03.820 comes to service delivery. That there are problems with the passport offices and the situation at

00:00:08.660 airports. But good news, they're on it. They're planning to solve the problem. Here's what

00:00:14.040 they're going to do. Justin Trudeau has announced the formation of a new task force. Ten cabinet

00:00:20.260 ministers. Ten. We're going to bring together the best and the brightest of the Trudeau cabinet

00:00:24.360 and they are going to solve the problem of the lineups at the passport offices. Is this for real?

00:00:30.660 Yes, it's for real. Apparently this is what they think they need to do to solve what really should

00:00:36.900 be a rudimentary problem. Are there not many thousands of people who work at these departments

00:00:41.780 who are senior managers, senior bureaucrats, and they have to deal with the basic nuts and bolts stuff

00:00:47.500 to get it going, to get it functioning. And is this not a basic nuts and bolts thing? Why aren't you

00:00:52.300 processing the passport sooner? You know, when you have a situation in your workplace where you work

00:00:57.760 and they find that the widget making machine is broken, what do you do? Do you go, we got to form

00:01:02.080 a committee to write a report? No, you say, fix the widget making machine. And maybe if it's a

00:01:06.740 complicated problem, you say, okay, we got to bring in this external guy. We got to hire this guy.

00:01:10.460 Be here by tomorrow. We need you here, buddy. This is really important. Fix the widget making machine.

00:01:14.940 Or you have a problem at home where the dishwasher is broken. Well, what do you do? You tinker

00:01:18.680 around yourself and maybe you succeed. Or you don't. You call the guy in. Get here tomorrow. I need you

00:01:22.720 to fix it. You don't form a committee. You don't bring in 20 people to sit around and talk about it.

00:01:28.200 You know, how many liberal cabinet ministers does it take to change a light bulb? How many liberal

00:01:33.180 cabinet ministers does it take to expedite passport lines? This is quite something that they're not

00:01:39.040 looking at this as, yeah, we got a problem here, a sort of run-of-the-mill logjam issue. Let's solve it.

00:01:44.380 Let's just call people and say, get this done. I want this solved in 72 hours. Apparently this is

00:01:48.660 some sort of existential rethink of how government works and they need to bring together an entire

00:01:54.220 task force. Unbelievable. I think this is just only going to worsen things and slow down any solution.
