Albert Einstein once said: "It takes more intelligence/brilliance to make things really simple than to make them too complex and obtuse."
Let me propose the establishment of the "Canadian Simplification Office" to deal with creeping complexity of the governments towards absolute simplicity and ultimate consistency, starting with streamlining the Statutes and Regulations of Canada.
Laws and regulations do not have to be specific. For example, even Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms could say that the only ground for discrimination is "merit" instead of spelling out "race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability" as it omits "sexual orientation".
In fact, the Canadian Simplification Office should replace the Office of the Auditor General of Canada.
