Mr. Speaker, could the Minister of Public Works and Government Services confirm the news just published by the Globe and Mail, which states:
Public Works managers informed their employees Monday the department will shed about 700 jobs over the coming three years...include the elimination of 92 auditors.
The cuts to auditing staff at Public Works come just as the department is in the midst of overseeing a $35-billion wave of military purchases...that carries political implications as Canada’s regions battle over the contracts.
Is it true?
