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.
