Canada to cut 12,000 federal jobs by 2028-29 to save billions, affecting agencies and programs.
Canada’s federal government plans to cut over 12,000 full-time equivalent positions across departments and agencies by 2028-29 as part of a spending review aimed at achieving billions in savings.
Cuts include 1,793 at Public Services and Procurement Canada, 900 at Statistics Canada, and 942 at Health Canada.
Specific measures involve ending the LEAP Lunar Rover Mission, winding down outdated tax units at the Canada Revenue Agency, reducing non-core research at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, scaling back climate fund programs, retiring military fleets, and cutting heritage and access services at Library and Archives Canada.
While some agencies cite AI-driven efficiency, many plans offer only vague commitments to modernization.
Critics say full impacts remain unclear and will likely emerge during parliamentary scrutiny.
