"Why we can't do X or Y now. Or, why does it take six months, why can't it be done now?" It is often true that simple quotes can capture in a line or two the essence of people, things or phenomena. In the case of the Canadian bureaucracy, the quote at the top of the last page neatly captures the frustration of one prominent liberal cabinet member with the "glacial" slowness of Ottawa's "multitudes of mandarins".
