This is the most ridiculous thing I keep seeing from the Liberals. They create a big problem/mess and then are tasked with undoing their mistakes and act like heroes after doing so.

I appreciate the sense of urgency, but I believe 60 days is too short and it’s going to backfire – hard – on the Libs.
We’re in June next week.
People in the government are beginning their vacation rotation at the end of the month. Lots of interns are coming in for the summer in various sections of the department and need to be integrated just at this moment.
Managerial teams, lawyers internal and external, various consulting groups to analyze the effects of policy changes, etc.
60 days is enough to get proposals going. Not enough to get definitive results at this time of the year. Corners will be cut. Give it 6 months and they’ll get the job done, or keep the objective quiet.

There is absolutely an “old dog new tricks” angle to take with this but that’s dismissive of how much influence the PMO has now.
I took over a restaurant and kept all the kitchen staff. We made completely different food and prepared for service in a way that did not at all resemble how they had been working before I arrived.
Of course, the armchair pundits and redditors must make their comments and predictions but there is little harm in waiting to see what the results are.

To jumpstart the economy quickly and to secure stronger per capita growth for the foreseeable future, the solution is clear (abolishing interprovincial trade barriers). Ottawa’s already making a good commitment, but it has to strike while the iron’s hot and convince the provinces to phase all barriers out while it still has the political capital to follow through.
If Carney can get the province’s onboard with housing (namely comprehensive YIMBY centric zoning/land-use reform) and complete internal trade liberalization, then the government’s economic legacy will likely be secured because of those two reforms.
