Public Service Commission of Canada is eliminating 40 positions (40 employees) as part of the federal government's Comprehensive Expenditure Review (Budget 2025). This total includes vacant positions, projected attrition, and positions to be eliminated through formal workforce adjustment. Of these, 38 currently filled positions (38 employees) are undergoing formal Workforce Adjustment (WFA) or Career Transition (CT) proceedings — the most direct indicator of employees facing displacement. 42 "affected" or "at-risk" status letters have been issued (42 to employees, 0 to executives). These notices indicate potential impact and do not necessarily result in departure from the public service. The organization employs 803 people in the core public administration as of March 2025. Notifications were issued in Phase 1 of the Government of Canada's workforce reduction process.
