Civil Servants under NDPLiberals' Government Since 2015 Has Balllooned by a Third

 "...But nowhere in the 39-page report, which was shared publicly in late August, is there any analysis of one of the most important trends affecting the federal public service: the multiyear hiring spree that has swollen the ranks of civil servants by nearly a third since the federal Liberals came to power in 2015.

As the chart below shows, the expansion of the federal civil service long predates the pandemic. Starting in fiscal 2015-16, the Liberals ended the austerity policy of the Conservatives, which had shrank the size of the core federal public service by nearly 10 per cent between fiscal 2010 and 2015. (The core federal public service excludes Crown corporations and government agencies, such as the Canada Revenue Agency and Canada Post.)..."

The Globe and Mail: Ottawa's hiring spree is beyond measure.
