CdnFox Posted August 16, 2023 Report Posted August 16, 2023 https://archive.is/DALaP New Treasury Board President Anita Anand delivered the deadline in writing to her cabinet colleagues, meaning many ministers in new roles only have a few weeks to find cuts that were first promised in the 2023 budget. The March 28 budget announced a goal of saving $7.1-billion over five years through a 15-per-cent cut to discretionary spending on consulting, professional services and travel over five years. It also announced a planned phase-in of a 3-per-cent spending cut by departments and agencies by 2026-27, with a goal of saving $7-billion over four years. As well, both plans are expected to produce continuing savings in future years. And Crown corporations are expected to find a combined $1.3-billion in savings over four years. The budget indicated that only $500-million of the $15.4-billion in spending cuts over five years will be booked in the current fiscal year.

CdnFox Posted August 16, 2023 Author Report Posted August 16, 2023 So this is money already planned for - not a new mandate - and it's over 4 years with only 500 million total this year. They're running a 40 billion dollar deficit this year btw. They're really trying to pump her as still being relevant - but it's interesting because the rumour was she was demoted because she was a leadership hopeful and let people know. Now she's hyping up her position - she's in the media talking about how important her job is and how every policy goes past her desk and being visible sending out these letters (which are kind of bullshit). I think there's some blood in the water and the jockeying for the next leadreship race is already underway. Trudeau will HATE that. 2 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
Moonlight Graham Posted August 16, 2023 Report Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he simply doesn't believe the government will achieve the savings proposed in Anand's letter. "[Prime Minister] Justin Trudeau will never find savings because he is incompetent with money," Poilievre told reporters Tuesday. ?
