ABSTRACT:
Federal sport policy in Canada has long been the culmination of a rational, comprehensive planning process. However, despite its intuitive appeal and immense popularity, the rational approach to policy-making is fundamentally flawed. In this article, the principal criticisms of the rational policy-making and planning process are reviewed. As well, the reasons why the process remains popular despite its weaknesses, are discussed. It is argued that problems with the underlying policy-making process have prevented the development of a cohesive federal sport policy. As a replacement for the comprehensive rational model, the article builds towards a simpler approach for developing sport policy - one that is less expensive, less cumbersome and, ultimately, far more workable.
