How can you ask a mandarin to be responsible if you can’t hold them responsible for their own actions? When you have a normal job, you are paid to do your work and you have responsibility for what you do, you are answerable. But we don’t seem to hold mandarins to the same standard.

Right. We have these opaque organizations like the one that operates Jean-Drapeau park, and others. In a normal large organization I imagine at various levels people have discretion over certain expenses, above which the decision has to be made by a higher level. It sounds like this wasn’t being done in some parts of the city bureaucracy.

You take a salary, you take responsibility. We need to stop this idea that government employees have no responsibility. They have no responsibility IF they follow the guidelines and rules. Want to see how many unauthorized contracts they will sign if they know that they are financially liable? None.
