A technical problem prevented the Cameron Inquiry from delivering its report to the provincial government as promised on 28 February.
Okay.
That happens.
Government’s original plan was to release the thing publicly two days later, allowing time off for Sunday for the rest of us.
Again, fair enough. Compared to some reports which languish in government hands as “drafts” for the better part of a year or more, this is actually pretty good.
So how come government delayed the report release indefinitely once the technical glitch showed up?
It seems a pretty easy thing to release the report as soon as it is received. Government might not be ready to give all the answers right away but then again they wouldn’t have been able to do much other than figure out their starting position if they’d gotten it on Saturday. If the health minister is now dealing with something else, then at least tell everyone what is going on.
So why the extra hang-up?
It’s not like the Premier was originally planning to scrum on it anyways.
Get it out there and let’s start dealing with the report and all its details.
Hang on while we get in one last torque update: Delaying the announcement of a report into problems at Eastern Health and then announcing a new chief executive officer for the organization looks a bit like the sorts of issues management stunnedness that got everyone into the mess in the first place.
Is CRA still polling? Could explain a lot.
And then it’s on, again Update: The report will be released a day after it was supposed, given that it was received a day after it was supposed to be handed in.
And that couldn’t have been said before five minutes to three on Monday afternoon?
