Government has to be Pro Active

The recent example of the Eco-fee is a good example of lack of leadership and the inability of an agency to be proactive. If it were not for the media uproar and the stand that Canadian Tire took, no changes would have been initiated by the Provincial Government. I think governments at all levels should be proactive about issues and not just reactive. They knew the system was a mess and they knew the public was in an uproar, but no one took ownership of the problem to correct a poorly thought out and executed plan. No one, that is, until Canadian Tire took a stand!
