OTTAWA – Liberal leadership candidates have contrasting plans for Canada’s federal public service — with presumed front-runner Mark Carney taking the most aggressive stance so far.
Carney recently vowed to cap the size of the public service and rein in government spending.
While he hasn’t said where this cap would be set or how much he would reduce spending, Carney told a press conference on Wednesday he would review program budgets and use new technology like artificial intelligence to improve efficiency.
The public service runs in the millions.
They are well financed and organized. No Liberal is going to risk their vote.
