Government Emergency Team Cut in Half | Canada News

Government emergency response is under fire as the Government Operations Centre slashes its staff by half—down from 100 to 50 workers—raising alarms from unions and politicians alike. With wildfire season at its peak and the Prime Minister recently urging international cooperation to tackle cross-border smoke, critics argue these cuts jeopardize national safety. Amid broader plans to slash 12,000 public service jobs, experts warn that cost-cutting could erode capacity and deter skilled workers, especially as new threats emerge. Both Conservatives and NDP are demanding the government prioritize public safety over budget savings, warning that weakened emergency coordination puts lives and homes at risk.
