"So, Premier Dalton McGuinty — how many people have been disciplined, exactly, in the wake of the three recent scathing reports by Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin addressing severe, systemic problems within the Municipal Property Assessment Corp., the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation?

Don’t bother mentioning anyone who has received a generous golden handshake. That’s not discipline.

While Marin had different criticisms of each of the organizations cited above, they all shared common characteristics.

Each, he said, had a corporate culture beset by incompetence, arrogance and indifference to the public they were supposed to serve, manifested in a philosophy of burying mistakes, bureaucratic overkill and an appalling insensitivity to both taxpayers and the public."
