Government of Canada - Federal Public Service

The federal government's Budget 2025 includes plans to cut 16,000 full-time equivalent positions across dozens of departments over the next three fiscal years, with the goal of reducing the federal public service to 333,000 employees by 2029. Major savings targets include the Canada Revenue Agency ($4.1B), Housing/Infrastructure/Communities ($5.4B), and Veterans Affairs ($4.1B), achieved through program closures, operational efficiencies, and increased AI automation.
