Lots of these savings would last in perpetuity (elimination of huge and wasteful departments).

You could tie salary increases to inflation. I never budgeted any savings for hiring freeze anyways. Learn to live within a realistic budget. These kinds of things happen to families every day, and yet it's impossible for a government to do the same thing?

Its about prioritization, efficiency and delivering on core accountability. Something the PC's are terrible at.
Its cute. Tie public sector wage increases to inflation and pretty soon you have no one who wants to do this work. I had a boss give me a raise tied to inflation, once. Within six months I was out the door and on my own. Thats the reality of the labour situation in Alberta.

I am highly skeptical that this would fly, but by all means I hope this is the kind of thing the Wildrose is banking on.
