A math question
When the Minister of Business — whatever that is — claims "Twenty-Seven Per Cent Less Red Tape as Government Streamlines Processes and Improves Service"...
What is the numerator?
What is the denomerator?
How does a body quantify the abstract and amorphous concept of "red tape", and so finely that the Minister of Business — whatever that is — can claim an extraordinarily specific figure of 27% as the amount by which it has been reduced?

Reduction in red tape equals weight in grams of original paper work times all business owners related to a current cabinet member times number of new proposals that have been excused from environmental assessment, all divided by the weight in grams of new papperwork times the square root of the distance from province of proponent's head office plus the promised benefit in dollars of proposal multiplied by a constant not made public due to cabinet secrecy.
I think that's pretty clear.

With all that red tape successfully eliminated, government employees can turn their attention to pressing matters like repeating and rehashing the information contained in weekly press releases.
