Thanks for sharing. Good read. Expect a similar trend from other agencies, crown corps and departments in the near future related to outdated rules and challenges modernizing.

Also would love to see TBS adopt Theme 1 and 4. Significant ROI for the whole GC there.

The GC overall needs to be all in on 5 and everything above it should be re-engineered to achieve it. Whether it’s regulatory oversight or internal services, the client experience is far down the list in terms of priority.

Interesting perspective, appreciate you sharing that. I’ve always thought of 5 as continuous improvement without linking it to drive even better outcomes.

I have worked for them before. Industry has been pushing for reducing red tapes for a long time. But what government needs understand, this agency deals with industry very closely and regulates the industry directly. Deregulation will not bring anything good. Historically deregulations caused disasters. Also CFIA has records of being influenced by industry. Bunch of ADM and even DM got fired l for these. Plus while Canada’s population increased dramatically, CFIA employee numbers didn’t increase much. Due to all these “modernization”. This will not lead anything good.

Which President and Vice President are you talking about? As far as I know the only ones to get pushed out/fired were ousted because they failed to properly investigate harassment complaints filed against another VP.

“narrowing the farmers' privilege exemption to apply only to small grain crops like cereals and pulses where it is customary practice for farmers to save and re-use seed”

Not a fan of this.
