Ottawa Public Servants Brace for Major Job Cut Announcements in the New Year

 

Federal Workers Await January Notices as Ottawa Prepares Job Cuts

Federal public servants across Canada are bracing for a wave of job‑cut announcements expected to begin in January, as departments prepare to roll out the government’s latest cost‑cutting measures.

With tens of thousands of positions potentially affected over the coming years, many public servants are watching January closely, waiting to learn whether their roles will be impacted.
