Is it just me or has COVID revealed to us how seemingly impotent the oppositional aspect of democratic governance is?

Maybe in the spirit of building back better we could refashion our governance too. Perhaps opposition parties that don't win control of the government could win a consolation prize, control of our institutions of accountability and oversight. If you run a clean government and the opposition didn't find anything out of order they'd have to work a little harder to offer something better. OTOH...
Well I think the opposition does part of their job just by asking questions, many of them that need to be asked.  However, in modern day politics nobody really answers them, from any party.  The answers they give aren't really about being accountable to Canadians (since they rarely contain answers), more like an eff-you to the opposition.

I guess the opposition is allowed to ask anything they want, and the government is allowed to answer any way they want.
