Mr. Speaker, the Liberals do not have the courage to discontinue the massive gifts that the Conservatives gave big business, but they have no problem at all cutting 5,000 jobs in the public service. Fewer employees means fewer services for the public. Like the Conservatives, the Liberals cut services, but they are quick to give billions of dollars to incompetent subcontractors. Just look at what happened with ArriveCAN. I have a simple question. Why not keep public services and get rid of subcontractors that cost an arm and a leg and do not get the job done?

Mr. Speaker, we continue to act responsibly when it comes to public services, especially procurement, but also our public servants. For example, budget 2024 talks about natural attrition in the public service. However, we will continue to consult with the public service and the unions. We know that the public service is there for us, and we will continue to be there for the public service.
