Since coming to power in 2015 the Trudeau government has been hiring full-time civil servants at triple the rate of Canada’s population growth, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
The fiscally conservative think tank says the number of civil servants has increased by 26.1% from 2015, the year the Trudeau government was elected, up to the fiscal year 2022-23 — the latest data available.
That compares to a 9.1% increase in Canada’s population during that period.
