PBO report warns of ballooning bureaucracy costs

OTTAWA, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to shrink the federal bureaucracy following today’s Parliamentary Budget Officer report projecting government labour costs continuing to increase.

“Taxpayers already pay too much for the bloated federal bureaucracy and this report shows those costs will continue to balloon unless the government finally cuts spending,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “Canadians need meaningful tax relief and the only way for Carney to make that happen without hiking the debt is to cut the size and cost of the bureaucracy.”
