This all sounds like code for reducing the public service and cutting jobs. Is this of concern or is only concerning if Pierre starts cutting jobs within the government?

I believe part of the problem is the massively expanded use of contractors and consultants amounting to spending in the order of $ 20. billion every year for work that could have been done internally. I think this sort of thing could be corrected fairly quickly.
I agree both Liberals and Conservatives recognize that a certain amount of trimming in government should take place. But saying this in a reasonable and constructive manner does not give the circle jerkers here the chance to make PP look like Trump.
