You’re shorting the overhead costs, each public servant is closer to averaging $150,000 all-in, as this includes employer costs such as health-care and dental provider and pension employer contributions and departmental overhead/G&A. I’ll look for the reference, but I saw an incremental cost of $15B for the additional 100,000 since Trudeau came to power in late-2015.
Let’s keep this in mind…in the same period that the CAF was losing ~8% existing employees per year, the Federal Public Service ADDED MORE employees 2015-2024, than the entire existing CAF, RegF and PRes (100,000 c.2023 CTV ref). So it seems the Federal Government has no problem at all recruitingLiberal voterspublic servants when it wants to.
Still thinking about this one.
Budget is up $15 BCAD per year in perpetuity plus inflation....That is 50% of DND's budget and fully enough to put us well over the 2% of GDP.
Plus...
100,000 more civil servants on the payroll. How much budget was each one of those administering? Distributing? Expensing? Spending with fixers?
