Library and Archives Canada Layoffs 2026 — 161 Jobs Cut in Ontario, Canada

Library and Archives Canada is eliminating 161 positions over three years, including 56 permanent employees, as part of the Carney government's public service spending review requiring up to 15 per cent operational budget cuts. The bulk of savings of $13.6 million will come from the access to information and privacy (ATIP) unit, though the organization is receiving a permanent $20 million annual funding injection to help address systemic access-to-information shortfalls.
