Does it say 15% cuts in the platform? All I can see is where it says 2% increases.
The answers to your question, from reading the article and the platform before asking:
No, it doesn’t say that in the platform.
Also, what else will ‘save’ 15% other than cutting jobs?
Ask the relevant Ministers who have access to the numbers, and the power to make decisions.
Neither has to do with the point that right now no one is being laid off, and departments are being asked to save money up to 15% over the next three years.
I am using the same information everyone else is spinning to come to my conclusions. The difference is I am not speculating for personal benefit, or fear mongering in order to defend my position.
Facts of the matter are clear.
The Liberal platform stated that they are committed to capping employment instead of cutting employment and “As part of our review of spending we will ensure that the size of the federal public service meets the needs of Canadians.”, and Government departments have been asked to save 15% over 3 years with no direct orders to cut anything specific.
If you want to play with Occam’s razor be sure not to cut yourself attempting to ground your speculation and assumptions in something real.
Um no, you claimed that people were “fear mongering” because it is to their “personal benefit” to do so.
I asked what the benefit would be to the critics if they were just inventing a narrative rather than pointing to a genuine problem.
In other words, if it is reasonable to assume that Carney’s government is not going to cut personnel, then what is the benefit to the union to say the opposite? Wouldn’t they simply end up looking foolish and untrustworthy?
On the other hand, if it is reasonable to assume that the PBO and the federal workforce are being genuine, then yes, there would he a benefit to them to not lose their jobs.
But it’s only in the latter case - where the PBO and unions are the ones telling the truth here - that there’s a material benefit to them for speaking out.
Thus, your assertion contains a contradiction. I asked you to explain that contradiction. It seems you’ve declined to do so. Take care.

Well, the ministers aren’t talking, but the unions and the PBO are.
Also the fact that departments were not asked to find only non-personnel cuts is another good indication that the warnings are correct.
Do you have anything concrete to back up the idea that all these indicators are wrong, or shall we go ahead and use Occam’s razor here?

Hold on - what is the benefit to the PBO here?
And if, as you say, there’s no reason to expect job cuts, then what benefit are the unions getting from “fear mongering”?
Do you have something to add or are we done here?
I asked you to back up your assertion, did you have anything to back it up with? If not then yes, we’re done here
I already did what you are asking, and I won’t repeat myself again.

When you can provide a single piece of anything to support your point I am all ears.
