Your report on full-time equivalents in the public service shows that the number of FTEs is projected to decline from 428,000 to 400,000 by 2025-26. That's 4.7% higher than prepandemic levels. However, according to StatsCan, Canada's population is projected to grow 5.7% to 9.3% in that same period, so the public service could grow by as little as half as much as the population grows.
Would you expect to see a decline in the availability or quality of services Canadians receive if the population continues growing faster than the public service?
