The leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Pierre Poilievre, is attacking the federal public service. “The work is not getting done,” he proclaimed, believing that there are “far too many civil servants.”

The man who aspires to become the Prime Minister of Canada in the next federal election made these comments in an interview on the show Always in the morningon January 21, where he was invited to comment on a range of subjects.

Pierre Poilievre, in the same breath, promised that he would reduce the size of the bureaucracy and the state.

Still in connection with the public service, the Conservative leader estimated that the workplace, whether in the office or teleworking, doesn’t matter. It is rather the result which takes precedence in his eyes.

I believe there needs to be proof that the work is being done by giving clear tasks and monitoring whether the work has been donehe said.
