Is there any evidence that the cuts proposed by the Wild Rose are A) feasible and B) necessary?
For example, they cite as a major cost savings reducing the ratio of managers to works from 5/1 to 10/1. What is the evidence that this is a necessary or desired cost savings? What impact is this likely to have on service? If the impact on service is negative, are the cost savings on the service enough to trump the negative impact to services.
What impact is the reduction of half the provinces health managers on unemployment in the province? What is the cost in eliminating these positions in terms of buyouts, severance and pensions to the province. Is the savings enough to justify removing the positions and people in them?
