9 out of 10 Jobs created in Canada in 2020-2021 were in the Public Sector

Probably 'Prototyping'

Federal government hired more than 10,000 new public servants last year to reach record high

The size of Canada's public service has ballooned by 42 per cent since the 2015 election of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

110,000 civil servants vetted and hired since 2015.
10,000 civil servants vetted and hired in 2023

CF short 16,000 uniformed civil servants
PSPC short enough civil servants to spend available, voted, CF funds.

Bullshyte.

What is a uniformed civil servant?

Members of the Canadian Armed Forces are not civil servants.

Bring back the civil service rifles

Members of the Canadian Armed Forces are not civil servants.

Plenty are though

When the CPC gets in and starts Work force Adjustment 2.0, offer a switch to the CAF as a option with a signing bonus if they get through the enrollment process. How do you reconcile pensionable time accumulated in the PS, when enrolling with the CAF?

Sure. Some reservists are civil servants in their full-time employment outside the Canadian Armed Forces. Doesn't change my point that CAF members are not civil servants.

Hypothetically if that were to happen; it could be done right or it could be done very wrong.

Wrong = cutting at the coalface. This would further impair operational output.
Right = cutting the massively increased bureaucracy at the L1/2 level. This would de-centralize certain aspects.

The stuff I bolded is how it usually happens. The L1/2 level is tasked with implementing the cuts so they naturally won’t cut themselves!

Also what happens with an ideologically driven government is they will say “straight x% cut across all departments except for health and education”. They don’t do the work to determine whether Departments A and D are already understaffed, Department B is x+10% overstaffed and Department C shouldn’t even exist.

IOW, lazy cuts to tell their supporters that they cut government, but not in an effective manner.

There is already a process to transfer pension benefits to the CAF.

The unrealistic side of that is the pay cut many would take if that was on offer. I could see entry level types possibly taking advantage where there is pay parity but higher levels aren’t going to jump in as privates.

Lateral moves to the CAF are one of the recruiting issues the CAF faces that other sectors don’t have.

That is pretty much what happened last time…

Won't hurt to sweeten the pot a bit, particularly for regions where the job market is tighter. I remember the impact of WFA 1.0 and you might be able gain some more bodies that way.

Would be interesting to see each department over time. When govts decide to save money by cutting the public service, they tend to slash everywhere. If that happens again, DND will lose the people it needs to run equipment projects & keep depots stocked.

Sadly they will cut frontline people first, the useless f*cks you want to cut are very good at protecting themselves. People working hard and diligently at their jobs don't see the axe coming.
