More than 110,000 people have been added to the federal payroll since 2015 when Justin Trudeau became prime minister - a 43 per cent increase.
The size of the civil service has exploded during the Trudeau Liberals’ nine years in power: growing more than 43 per cent, even though the country’s population has grown by less than 15 per cent in the same period.. On March 31, 2015, the last full fiscal year that the Harper Conservatives were in power, the civil service population was 257,034. That’s an average annual growth rate of more than 3.
Anand’s department, the Treasury Board Secretariat , is responsible for broad administration and management of government operations. “Under the Harper government’s , over 19,200 people lost their job and the quality of service delivery across the country was impacted. By contrast, we will always ensure our public service remains well-staffed and efficient in delivering the quality services Canadians expect and deserve.
PCO bureaucrats did not respond to emailed requests for information nor did anyone answer the PCO media relations line or responde to voicemails left at that PCO media relations line.The growth in the civil service under the Trudeau government is across all departments and all regions of the country, though some departments like the Canada Revenue Agency and some provinces in Atlantic Canada have seen significantly more growth than others.
As for western Canada, the federal government headcount in British Columbia is up 30 per cent since 2015 to 29,881; it is up in Alberta by 36 per cent to 19,602; up in Manitoba 38.7 per cent to 13,995 but in Saskatchewan, the civil service headcount grew just 15.6 per cent to 6,803. “In other words, after nine years of Trudeau, Canadians are paying more for bureaucracy to get less in service.”
The Trudeau government has 18,961 civil servants purchasing its goods and services at Public Services and Procurement Canada , an increase of 57 per cent compared to the group who did the same thing in Harper’s final year in office.
