I worked for the federal government over 30 years ago. The plan was that the federal government was going to gradually withdraw from the scene. From what I can see, the federal government is just as strong, powerful and all-pervasive as it was then. On the issue of duplication, our federal government has indicated that they wish to talk to every single provincial and territorial jurisdiction in order to avoid duplicating services provided by those orders of government. Where are we at with the one issue of duplication of services?
