PENTICTON, B.C. — Canada’s leading taxpayers’ watchdog is calling on the Carney government to make about $60-billion in annual spending cuts, including the end of taxpayer support for corporations, the CBC, the Senate and expense accounts for past governors general.
In its pre-budget recommendations to the federal government, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) also calls for slashing the costs of the federal bureaucracy and Parliament itself as part of a plan to make government more affordable and to reduce the costs of the fast-growing federal debt.
