He said that work is not getting done now within the federal government.
He called for public servants to be given clear assignments and be monitored to ensure they’re completing their tasks.
Poilievre said he would also cut the federal public service, arguing that Canada has far too many bureaucrats.
He said the federal Liberals drove up the deficit in part by hiring 110,000 public servants.
