This episode's featured guests are the Hub Roundtable's Rudyard Griffiths, executive director at The Hub, and Sean Speer, editor-at-large. With the series’ host, Amanda Lang, they discuss the Business of Government series’ key takeaways including growing questions about Canadian state capacity, the risks of government complacency, and the need to inject energy and dynamism into Canada’s governments.
