加拿大预算专员乐嘉尔泰

加拿大预算专员乐嘉尔泰（Suzanne Legault）昨天（17日）披露，自从2010年3月以来，联邦公共服务系统裁汰全职工作人员超过两万名，已经超过预期，预计在未来三年内，还将继续削减8900名左右。

在此之前，联邦政府声称计划削减19000名全职公务员。

渥太华大学公共服务管理教授祖斯曼（David Zussman）就此认为，联邦政府缺乏未来裁员的具体细节。

加拿大公共服务联盟主席拜森（Robyn Benson）则表示，关于未来裁员的消息对她还是新闻，想必会给加拿大带来一些问题。首先在于政府失信，本来口口声声要保护国民的安全，而安全的含义十分广泛，包括交通安全、食品安全，这个名单还能继续，也包括从业安全。

Thousands more public-sector jobs than planned to be cut, watchdog says
Parliamentary budget officer's report says 8,900 more cuts coming over 3 years

Canada’s budget watchdog says the federal public service has already lost more jobs than expected and projects thousands more cuts.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer’s Quarterly Expenditure Report, dated April 11, said more than 20,000 full-time federal public-service jobs have been cut since March 2010.

The federal government had previously said it would cut some 19,000 jobs.

Canada’s assistant parliamentary budget officer said the PBO's analysis shows it won’t end there.

“We looked at the reports of plans and priorities of government agencies over the next three years,” said Mostafa Askari.

“It's about 8,900 extra positions that will be reduced over that period.”

These current and future reductions would put the total population of the federal public service at around the same levels as 2006-07.

A statement from Treasury Board, meanwhile, notes most of the projected reductions are due to the end of temporary projects.

Prof wonders about hoarding money
David Zussman, a University of Ottawa public-service management professor, said the federal government hasn’t shared more details on where these cuts will take place in the future.

He also said the federal government appears to be hoarding some money.

“The government has been systematically under-spending. They're actually not spending the money allocated,” he said.

“If it's improper to spend more than you're allocated. Is it proper to spend less than you're allocated?”

Robyn Benson, national president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, says any future cuts to jobs in the public service "will be very problematic for Canadians."

Robyn Benson, national president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, said the future cuts are news to her.

“I think it will be very problematic for Canadians,” she said.

“I think they're losing trust in this government... They were suppose to ensure Canadians were safe; safe on the waterways, consuming food, in the air, the list goes on.”

The PBO report said the government saved about $168 million on “personnel” in a nine-month period of 2013-2014 compared to the same time period last year, a 0.6 per cent decrease in spending.

Federal government could cut nearly 9,000 more public service jobs

OTTAWA — The Conservative government is on track to eliminate 30,000 federal jobs over the next three years, returning the public service to the size it was when the party came to power in 2006.

The latest report by the Parliamentary Budget Office shows spending on personnel is continuing to fall and departments’ own plans and priorities reports show the public service will lose another 8,900 jobs by 2016-17, shrinking the workforce to the lowest levels since 2006.

That’s on top of the more than 20,000 positions that have been wiped off the payroll since the Conservatives’ watershed 2012 budget, which launched a downsizing that cut $5.2 billion in spending and targeted 19,200 jobs over three years. Departments implemented most of those job cuts in the first year, shedding 16,000 positions.

Treasury Board said most of projected cuts are because of “sunset” funding for temporary projects that are expiring. Decisions on the future of these initiatives “will be taken in future budgets,” said Heather Domereckyj, spokesperson for Treasury Board President Tony Clement.

But the biggest question is how these cuts will affect the level and quality of services delivered by departments. The PBO has been fighting the government for years for information on the nature of the cuts.

“It’s very difficult to believe that you can cut that much in personnel and spending and maintain the same level and quality of service as before. It doesn’t add up,” said assistant PBO Mostafa Askari.

He said the government has offered no evidence of ways to generate big productivity savings that could keep service at existing levels while shedding so many people.

“When you cut personnel, the way to get efficiency is by investing in technology and other processes. If not, the implication is the people who were cut are not contributing anything … which is very hard to believe,” said Askari.

The extent of the cuts also raises the question of what future role of public service will emerge in 2017.

The government portrayed the cuts from the start as “painless.” It argued public servants would barely feel them because job losses would largely be handled by attrition. Similarly, they argued that Canadians would scarcely notice the impact because most cuts would come from modernizing the “back office” — internal services such as communications, information technology and human resources — generating savings from improved efficiency and productivity.

The PBO report, however, says the numbers don’t bear that out.

The PBO has estimated that only about 15 per cent of the $5.2 billion spending cuts in the 2012 budget came from “internal services.” Main estimates for this year show $1 billion of $9 billion in spending reductions will come from internal services.

Departmental plans show about 1,200 of the expected 8,900 jobs disappearing over the next three years will be from the “back office.”

The public service grew steadily since the late 1990s in the aftermath of the Liberals’ massive downsizing that eliminated 50,000 jobs, but the Conservatives, proponents of small government, were rapped for growing the public service more than any government in the past 20 years. It was estimated that 45,000 jobs were added under the Conservatives’ watch from 2006 to 2011.

Many have long predicted that the government could reverse much of that growth by time the cumulative impact of spending cuts since 2010 and the freezes on the operating budgets of departments rolled out by 2017.

是什么动力让中文报记者这么有才，把看门狗(watchdog)翻译成专员，再找一个人像张冠李戴？原文里边有人名，助理国会预算官阿斯卡利，这要说是无心弄错说不过去。

一边砍职位，一边招新人，不知道联邦政府是怎么达到平衡预算的。难道新员工都不拿工资？

走的工资高，新人工资低。

 

[b4w]

杠杠新的人据说仍不好进，被砍的人进到他们什么“库”，招“新”人还是从库里拎“旧”人，当然工资不一样了，工龄是不是也打折扣。
