John Baird says the Conservatives, if elected, will not make deep cuts to the public service as they seek to trim $4 billion annually in federal program spending.Details
At a meeting of Ottawa West-Nepean candidates for the May 2 election with the Citizen editorial board on Thursday, Baird said the government can find $4 billion in savings without decimating the public service.
“I believe we can do so and not have major reductions in the public service,” Baird said. “We have to be honest. We have a $29-billion deficit that’s going to require some modest reductions. But they will be modest. They won’t be slash and burn as the Liberals did.”

He's a politician, what did you expect him to say, that they CPC would gut the civil service like a perch?
Goodbye CBC. There goes one cool billion. There's the per vote subsidy. That's gotta be worth a few million. Funding for the arts. Getting the Feds out of Provincial jurisdiction. I'm sure they can find more before they start cutting services to Canadians.
Goooo Vancouver Canucks!!!
