Canada plans to cut 12–13% of Global Affairs staff by 2030 amid a $1.12B budget cut, sparking union backlash.
Global Affairs Canada has issued layoff warnings to about 3,400 employees before completing a planned foreign-policy review, citing a need to cut 12–13% of its workforce by 2030 to meet a $1.12 billion budget reduction.
The move has drawn criticism from unions, who argue that cutting staff before defining new diplomatic priorities contradicts Prime Minister Mark Carney’s pledge to expand Canada’s global presence.
A national-security strategy is expected before summer 2026, followed by a review of diplomatic missions, staffing, and language focus.
Meanwhile, internal reviews are assessing workflow and the integration of non-French-speaking experts, particularly in Asian languages.
