New Treasury Board president Anita Anand previously signalled that Oct. 2 is the date for cabinet ministers to find $15.4 billion in federal government spending cuts.
A spokesperson for Anand said the government wants to refocus underutilized funds on critical services such as health care — and it doesn’t expect to cut any public-service jobs.
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has expressed that while there are areas where the government could better spend taxpayer money, he is worried the Liberals would have to cut essential services and programs.
Following this week's cabinet retreat in Charlottetown, Mackenzie Gray surveys how the mandate is being received, and where the cuts could come from.
