As the federal government prepares its long-anticipated budget in November, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he would like to see “billions of dollars” in cuts.
“There needs to be billions of dollars of reductions in the federal bureaucracy,” Poilievre said in an interview with CTV Question Period airing Sunday.
Poilievre also said the federal government “should cut the budget for consultants by at least $12 billion.”
Poilievre can’t win on this issue.
We’ve already seen Carney backtrack on his earlier promise to make serious cuts.
Face it unionized government bureaucracy at all levels is an important vote bloc. Another of Canada’s 3rd Rails.
The problem for Canadians is the MSM has in large part become part of the Federal Bureaucracy thanks to government press subsidies.
Consequently the issue of civil service reductions will always be portrayed as wrongheaded, a danger to Canadians and its proponents heartless.
