Mr. Speaker, obviously we have a problem with a growing cabinet in a high
level of top heavy government at a time when it is making cuts at the bottom and in the front lines.
For instance 20 per cent of all public servants, that is 48,000 people, make more than $50,000 a year. There are 48,000 managers looking over the shoulders of the people who actually deliver the services.
Will the government tell us the proportion of management versus frontline cutbacks that we can see in this upcoming budget so that we can make sure that we are hammering the management, not just gutting the frontline services to Canadians?
