It also shows the problem when authority is divided. Nobody is directly responsible for the solution. DFO manages salmon, BCFW the steelhead. We can point fingers at them all the time but, but in their world chum come first. The province can't take action, because they don't control the salmon fishery.

We see that often down here, and probably all over the world, where the solution to complex issues is to make sure that nobody is in charge.

Imagine, for a moment, that there was one entity (a person (Director??), Commission) who had to publicly explain why things happened as they did. Instead, we spread the "authority" among a variety of entities, ensuring ultimate failure but political cover.
