A new report by the Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives states that the federal public service may shed around 60,000 jobs in the next four years as Ottawa cuts the cost.
Earlier this month, Finance Minister François Filip Champagne sent letters to several ministers, asking them to cut 7.5 percent, 10 percent and 15 percent in 2028-29 in their departments.
The report written by a senior economist with Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives David McDonald says that federal public service may lose 57,000 employees by 2028.
The report predicted that Canada’s revenue agency, employment and social development and immigration, refugees and citizenship will be cut in Canada – three organizations that have already seen a decline in employees in recent months.
The report stated that the “Khamiaja” of cuts in Ottawa and Gatino cities will be “tolerated” as about half of the job will be in the National Capital Region.
The report predicted that the loss of job will result in service effects across the country as a result of the loss of job, saying that cuts will have to wait longer, more errors and “less people to fix those errors.”
