I'd guess that the problems are pretty complex and hard to cut back in an easy way. There seems to be an ever-growing legal and regulatory burden and corresponding bureaucracy. But many rules are there for a reason, so you have to understand what is going on to make true improvements (not Trump-style random cuts with unknown consequences).
It's similar with industry regulation. Canada has so many problems with a lack of competition but actually going in and adjusting things to make them better is hard.
I get the feeling there often isn't a lot of cost-benefit at the political level when new rules are added. It is very hard politically, for example, to decline to add some kind of safety measure (which may or may not work) to save money. It's very easy to say that a Bad Thing happened, so we Must Do Something.
