Yes, and Yes (Yes to both of your sentences).

Talking and chanting the right mantras is what we all can and do, and we don't 
need millions of taxpayers money to do so.

If you receive public money for your efforts, you should be expected to be 
held publicly accountable for the money you spent and youu should be able to 
present something tangible as outcome.

Just recommending things that have been recommended by various organizations 
and individuals for a decade before does not count as "something tangible" in 
my books.

If we have to put up with a secretive boys club appointed by the government of 
the day the very least I would expect is that some of the recommendations 
actually get *mandated* or *legislated* into being.
