The Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) says five federal departments have released plans to cut nearly 2,000 jobs by 2030, representing workforce reductions of 4.7 percent.
“Information on service-level impacts was limited and varied across organizations, but all indicated that the planned reductions are expected to have a ‘low’ or ‘limited’ impact on existing service levels,” the PBO said in its Jan. 8 report.
