Poilievre says he wants to cut the federal public service, doesn't mind remote work

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre emphasizes the need for reform in the federal public service, suggesting that while he would reduce the number of federal workers, he supports remote work as long as employees complete their assignments. In a response to a question regarding U.S. President Trump's call for in-office attendance, Poilievre focused on accountability, stating that the current government structure fails to ensure tasks are accomplished. He attributes high deficits to the hiring spree of public servants by the Liberal government, arguing that significant cuts are necessary for a more efficient bureaucracy.

"The work is not getting done now within the federal government. We need public servants to have clear assignments and be monitored to ensure they're completing their tasks."

"I would cut the federal public service, arguing that Canada has far too many bureaucrats, and that the Liberals drove up the deficit by hiring 110,000 public servants."
