Let's put an end to the cuts that weaken essential services.

The trade war waged by Donald Trump is hitting Canadians hard. But instead of fighting for workers, Carney’s Liberals are eliminating tens of thousands of jobs that support families and reducing the services Canadians rely on.

Alexandre Boulerice was present at the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates on March 12, 2026, and was utterly stunned by the contemptuous remarks of Liberal MP Tom Osborne, who presumed to “correct” the facts presented by the President of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada. The Liberals are doing everything in their power to try to conceal the major impacts of cuts to the public service and the services provided to the public. The truth is that every reduction in spending and staff weakens internal expertise and compromises the delivery of public services.

Canadians deserve a government that strengthens public services, not one that undermines them through reckless layoffs. Instead of improving services, these cuts will lead to longer wait times, growing backlogs, and increased pressure on the remaining workers. At a time when families are already struggling with the rising cost of living, eliminating frontline services is not the right decision.

The Liberal government promised stability. But today, thousands of dedicated public servants are being laid off without serious consultation or sound justification. This approach is misguided and harmful.

The New Democrats stand with public sector workers and the people who depend on them. We call on Prime Minister Carney to immediately stop these cuts, engage in good-faith dialogue with unions, and commit to investing in a strong, stable, and efficient public service. Canadians deserve better - and we will fight to make sure they get better.

Add your name to put pressure on the Liberal government:

The NDP has already secured crucial victories for workers. Through relentless pressure on the Liberals, we successfully passed the anti-scab legislation in 2024, a historic step that strengthens the rights of striking workers. We also secured 10 paid sick days for all federally regulated workers, another step toward better social protections. Furthermore, we continue to denounce the government's inaction on the exploitation of temporary foreign workers and to tirelessly defend union rights.
