Spending cuts to hit National Defence and Canadian Forces but officials say no job losses expected.
In a new message to employees, Deputy Minister Bill Matthews and Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre said the process to find savings has already started. But the two noted that job losses are not expected.“Reductions related to operating expenditures will be phased in over three years and are not expected to result in job losses outside of normal attrition, or reallocation, ensuring that our people’s work is focused on high-priority initiatives,” Matthews and Eyre noted in the Sept.
Matthews and Eyre said the federal government intends to bring the growth of government spending back to a pre-pandemic level. The quest for spending cuts “will entail hard decisions,” Matthews and Eyre informed military staff and public servants. “However, this is not about doing more with less or arbitrary cost-cutting. It is about ensuring the defence budget is directed toward top defence and government priorities.”
She said the union has provided National Defence senior management with a comprehensive report that shows contracting out is more costly and offers the military less flexibility. “I challenge the National Defence leadership to open their minds to addressing these budgetary restraints not as those before them have attempted and failed at, but with effective long-term plans to build the public service not only meet the budgetary goals, but benefit the Canadian economy,” Winger added.
