Federal Government Announces New Office to Study Why Previous Studies Were Not Implemented

OTTAWA – The federal government has announced the creation of a brand new Office of Implementation Review, tasked with studying why none of the recommendations from the last 14 government-commissioned studies were ever implemented. We have spent $23 million on consulting fees to determine why we keep spending money on consulting fees, explained the newly appointed director. Our preliminary findings suggest a systemic issue with follow-through, which we will be commissioning a further study to explore in greater detail. The office will employ 47 civil servants, occupy three floors of a downtown Ottawa building, and is expected to release its first report in approximately four years. Early projections suggest the report will recommend forming a committee. Critics point out that the office itself was created without any implementation plan.
