Help me understand
The Toronto Star reported today that the Liberal government will tackle bloated consulting costs. This should make most people happy, but the article contained this bit of information.
“Of the total ($10.46 billion), 8.03 billion was spent on private companies to provide public services. The remainder (2.43 billion) was spent on government departments contracting services from other departments, such as legal services from the Department of Justice.”
First, let’s look at that number. 2.43 billion dollars is a lot of money for most of us in the other 99%. Using 2015 statistics, it represents $67.97 dollars from each Canadian, but it also represents $9,454.00 dollars for each employee of the Federal Public Service and that is what I don’t understand. 2.43 billon dollars was spent by government department on services by other government department. These are people who are already being paid by us to do the jobs which they are now charging other departments to do. I admit that I don’t understand it. Is this work that is being done off hours because there aren’t enough employees to get the work done during government hours, or is this a way to hide real department labour costs, or perhaps it is the cost of hiring temporary employees needed to count the 2,430,000,000 dollars that is being passed around, or is it just another rip-off.
