The federal public service is “broken” and needs to undergo major changes in many areas that “fail to deliver” for Canadians, says Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) Yves Giroux.

“There’s a system that’s broken,” Giroux told the Senate national finance committee on Feb. 7, saying that there is a lack of discipline within many government departments and agencies.
