Ottawa going to tighten the screw to politicians and senior civil servants?

During the economic update, Thursday, the federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is expected to announce new measures to control the benefits and advantages of politicians and senior officials, according to a government source quoted by The Canadian Press . According to this source, who did not want to specify the details of these measures, the federal government limit the growth of budgets related to senior government officials and deputies. In the throne speech last week, there was no question of limiting the growth of wages in the public service, but politicians were not covered by these measures to reduce government spending. Ottawa prepares to tackle the worst economic climate since the early 1990s, and display a first budget deficit since a dozen years.
