In Canada, we're very good at conducting inquiries and producing detailed reports from those said inquiries. On the other hand, the only goddamn thing these inquiry reports can do is to make recommendations, and those recommendations are exactly just that -- recommendations that have absolutely zero legal binding power to compel any level of government to actually do anything.
From something as small as OPCC's recommendations towards the VPD's VI malpractice, to the military sexual assault reports, to the indigenous inquiries... unless somebody gets sued and loses, with the judge ordering some sort of penalty and the requirement to fix things, hardly anything ever gets done out of these reports and recommendations.
