Dalton McGuinty and his fellow Liberals are leaving a trail of ill conceived projects and mismanagement of the public purse. Following such scandals as eHealth and the OLGC, we now have waste and fraud in its welfare system (Community and Social Services Ministry), and sloppy management of other areas of responsibility.
While governmental waste is nothing new, McGuinty’s government, which came in with promises of responsible and honest government, seems especially prone to financial missteps and carelessness in managing its economic affairs. While expanding the civil service, it has relied excessively on overpaid consultants in many of its agencies, while picking the consumer’s pockets with the harmonization of the PST/GST.
I am not implying that Premier McGuinty is dishonest. I am saying that he is a poor manager. He needs to demand better performance and greater accountability from his Ministers, and the various agencies that seems to be doing their own thing without much accountability.
