\n Opinion: The question is if our leaders will use the current moment to address long-standing economic and social<\/a> policy failures\u2014to ‘build back better,’ as some say\u2014or return to how we used to run policies\n <\/div>\n
\n It\u2019s been six months since COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic and the Canadian economy and society were thrown into crisis. The hopes for a \u201creturn to normal\u201d have been dashed as school years, businesses and the lives of loved ones continue to be upended.<\/p>\n

What have these six months taught us about how our public policy can address this upheaval and help Canadians get through the chaos?<\/p>\n

The two of us have had a unique vantage point on these questions. In the early days of the pandemic, our organizations, along with the Brookfield Institute, created\u00a0First Policy Response<\/a>\u00a0at Ryerson University. This project brings together the Canadian policy community\u2014including insiders, researchers and frontline workers\u2014to share the best ideas to get us through the crisis and position us for a sustainable and just recovery.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve learned that there was broad-based support across the political spectrum for Canada\u2019s first-response measures\u2014income supports, rent relief, emergency investments in health and education, and the public health measures themselves\u2014even if there has been disagreement about how much we should spend or how quickly to wind them down.<\/p>\n

PAUL WELLS:\u00a0Bold solutions! Our big chance! What the Liberals say vs. what we\u2019ll get<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We\u2019ve also seen broad consensus that government and community are necessary when crisis strikes, and that it is government\u2019s job to protect people against catastrophic, systemic risks.<\/p>\n

But the issues we face as we move from emergency response to rebuilding\u2014what to do about long-term care, childcare, systemic racism, industrial policy, Employment Insurance, green transition\u2014are unlikely to attract the cross-partisan consensus that the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit did. All of these issues will raise difficult choices about private vs. public sector delivery, resources, taxes and debt.<\/p>\n

The most important debate right now is whether to use the current moment to address long-standing economic and social policy failures\u2014to \u201cbuild back better,\u201d as some say\u2014or to return to how we used to run policies and systems, maybe reforming them around the edges but not fundamentally changing them.<\/p>\n

This latter\u00a0\u201cstatus quo ante\u201d<\/em>\u00a0camp seems to hope that once a vaccine is found, we can pretend this whole thing never happ<\/a>ened. Like we weren\u2019t reminded every day that many of the people who clean our offices, mind our children and run our small businesses live precarious economic lives, with few of the social protections that those who work at universities or banks or government take for granted.<\/p>\n

Those in the\u00a0status quo ante<\/em>\u00a0camp argue that Canadians don\u2019t want governments to think about policy reforms \u2014 they just want governments to help them get through. They say that Canadians want economic security, not grand plans for the future.<\/p>\n

The forces of the\u00a0status quo ante<\/em>\u00a0are strong. They populate many of the institutions that influence our ongoing pandemic response. And they also dominate our narratives, making it difficult to embrace new ways of approaching these long-standing problems.<\/p>\n

But all around us, people and institutions are questioning their assumptions, reimagining their agency and no longer expecting to return to the\u00a0status quo ante<\/em>\u00a0when the pandemic officially ends.<\/p>\n

Large employers are rethinking their real estate footprint. Athletes are discovering their political power. It seems bizarre that the National Football League can finally get behind the Black Lives Matter movement while some Canadians with power and resources can\u2019t imagine a legislative framework that ensures decent work for people who deliver their food or bathe their elderly parents.<\/p>\n

People have been shouting for years that there are problems in our systems of early childhood education, long-term care, employment insurance and workplace protections. And they have had their proposed solutions ignored and their reports\u2014often commissioned by governments\u2014sit on shelves. Now we\u2019re in a situation that has proven the diagnoses, at the very least, to be exactly right.<\/em>\u00a0Now is precisely the right time to do something about long-standing policy failures. And we need to do this at the same time as we battle the pandemic\u2019s next wave.<\/p>\n

The kinds of reforms being discussed (income-support systems for precarious workers or accessible public services) are not magical dreams or frivolous ornaments. They respond to the real anxieties that many Canadians face. Robust social infrastructure like childcare and housing are prerequisites for the economic growth that the forces of the\u00a0status quo ante<\/em>\u00a0claim to want.<\/p>\n

The narrative that Canadians just want the government to help them get through the next few months is comical. Public opinion is\u00a0substantially supportive<\/a>\u00a0of broad-based reform.<\/p>\n

There is no reason we can\u2019t build back better while battling the pandemic. The health of our economy, communities and democracy requires us to do both at once.
