Former Privy Council clerk predicts federal debt will lead to public service cuts in Canada

And even without the $1 trillion debt, Wernick said the public service was “likely to become smaller” because of technology.

“One of the consequences of all this work from home experience is that ministers will figure out it really doesn’t matter where those public servants are, they can be brought together for work teams and projects,” said Wernick. “The federal service, it will be smaller, it will be less concentrated in Ottawa.

onlyafewcows Keep spending and this country will have nothing left except a crooked Trudeau and his menial followers

About time.

He should have a new job making license plates behind bars. That's what should happen to all corrupt civil servants.

Start with layoffs...And what is the wrong with Public Service cuts if it thins out Federal bureaucracy positions?

Hopefully they don’t raid our RSPs and bank accounts

The guy looks sinister

Start with the CBC! DefundTheCBC

You mean the guy that covers for the girl whose cousin covers for me might be let go. What has this country come to

And why is that a bad thing? Small government is a conservative anchor but under conservative governments we have often seen the public sector numbers increase. Explain that!

He's probably right ... and it's probably good.

You don't say 🤦🏼‍♀️

zappafreak83 he's got that right ..and will put pressure on al spending - DND , social programs etc etc

Easy to rally for cuts when it doesn't involve your job.

he's already cut healthcare, before the pandemic

Or, Liberals look at the polls and conclude the lesson from the pandemic response is that spending $ wins votes ...

Trudeau has to ho to out

Who?

Says...the Harper appointee. There are already massive budget freezes in departments. Austerity is alive and well, except in a few areas. Layoffs are coming.

Biggest expense Justin Trudeau !

And?

This is the best source you could find? Seriously?

Why?

Start buy defunding the CBC

Big time cuts wake up you socialist

Thank you Trudo for leading us backwards

GST getting jacked up to eventually 10% is my guess! Once the interest rates start skyrocketing, cutting services won’t do it. Watch healthcare take a killing too. Won’t touch federal aid to shitholes though, must...... keep..... spending...

To: JustinTrudeau FYI: rexglacer Really?🤔 $26 fo $246 bil. debt in 3 months wouldn't effect services 🇨🇦 tax payers would get? 🇨🇦 borrowing rating dropped from AAA. But! Remember: The books will balance themselves! Moistly. 🇨🇦 CanadaDying a slow death under Trudeau

the man has a firm grip on the blatantly obvious

Well its about time ....

Duh!

The list of sunshiners will go down?

First cut ~ Justin Trudeau

But he sure sucked the dick when he was paid for it from Trudeau.

This is a parody account right? You may as well say spending lessens the money you have. Incompetent government. Incompetent media.

The same guy who predicted someone would be shot during the last election campaign? I reckon we will set foot on Mars before we see cuts to the public service. I keep a file for meaningless predictions 🚽.

It better imo

Great news!

No shit.

Duh

onlyafewcows 🙏🇨🇦🙏

more like public SERVANT cuts

So there is a silver lining?

Is there anyone doubting this? Yes people. There is going to be many cuts. CERB will end. Covid will end. But we will still be dealing with the economic fall out for generations. No one will say it, but expect taxes to rise in all level of govt.

Wernick will be personally be stabbing the public servants in the back in a fashion similar to that suffered by Jody Wilson-Raybould.

The one who was also guilty of Obstruction of Justice

It’s about time the federal public service shrunk. It’s too big. And during this pandemic many have looked lazy and under occupied. And Service Canada refused to serve. Too many federal bureaucrats also earn too much and hv too high benefits. They looked of low worth recently.

Tax the multinational corporations and ultra wealthy.... We need more public services ..

Disney is closing too. Really just swamp land.....
