A taxpayers’ advocacy group is demanding Prime Minister Mark Carney immediately slash the federal public service, warning that relying on natural attrition won’t halt Ottawa’s rapidly expanding bureaucracy or its spiralling deficit.

“After adding about 100,000 bureaucrats in a decade, attrition doesn’t go nearly far enough,” Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano said Monday. “Carney needs to get serious about fixing the budget and making government more affordable for taxpayers.”

Carney said any public service reduction would “happen naturally through attrition,” while pledging to balance the federal operating budget by 2028.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer estimates federal personnel costs reached $71.1 billion in 2024-25, up 77 per cent from 2016-17, as the government added around 99,000 employees.

Public-service compensation now consumes about 55 per cent of Ottawa’s operating budget.

He’s obviously not axing a single liberal voter.

This is such bullshit. Everyone that has worked for the government knows that attrition is virtually always replaced, even during a hiring freeze.

There are so many tactics that management uses, like designating departments as essential, creating totally new positions that are deemed critical to business operations that do the exact same job as the previous position, etc. They will even at times collude with the unions to get the unions to put pressure on management to hire people.

The bureaucracy’s single goal is the continuous expansion of the size, scope, influence, and benefits of the bureaucracy. Any benefit to Canadians is an incidental byproduct of accomplishing their goal.
