Find $15B in spending cuts by October, Anand tells federal ministers
Quick Glance: Anand calls on federal ministers to find $15B in spending cuts by October
  • The government wants to redirect underutilized funds to critical services like healthcare and does not expect to cut public-service jobs.

  • The Liberals pledged to reduce discretionary spending on government consulting, professional services, and travel by 15% or $7.1 billion over five years.

  • The government stated in its 2023 budget that implementing similar spending restrictions for Crown corporations would save $1.3 billion over four years and $450 million annually thereafter.

  • The cuts are not expected to result in federal job losses, apart from normal attrition or redeployment of government workers.
