We know that, over the past 10 years, the government hired more public servants.
According to the Fraser Institute, 90,000 new public servants were hired between 2015 and 2023, an increase of 26%. However, the population increased by only 9% over the same period. The increase in the number of government employees was three times greater than the increase in the population.
Could this be a reason why we're unable to reduce office space?
