Prime Minister Mark Carney prepared to discipline anyone unable to meet his expectations.
Prime Minister Mark Carney expects high-ranking public servants to speedily carry out his ambitious nation-building agenda and is prepared to discipline anyone unable to meet his expectations, government and Liberal insiders say.
To meet his stated goal of achieving “the largest transformation” in the Canadian economy since the Second World War, the sources say, Carney is also ready to recruit more outsiders like former Hydro-Québec chief executive Michael Sabia.
The Prime Minister and his top advisers have made it clear at every meeting that senior federal bureaucrats must meet the challenge of reforming the Canadian economy with the same “pace and urgency” as the government, one official said.
Two Liberal insiders said discussions have been held with Sabia and incoming PMO chief of staff Marc-André Blanchard about demoting or dismissing senior civil servants who can’t meet the performance goals.

CIBC comment this morning that the deficit could reach $90 billion this year double what was projected last December with no fiscal update or budget until October. As they say BS baffles brains. Lipservice nothing more.
Lets hope this drifts downward to the Provinces and Municipal levels as well. I was sceptical about Carney but so far I like what I see, other than the EV mandate. IMO, the mandate gives the big 3 , plus Toyota and maybe Honda reasons to disinvest in Canada as they repatriate ICE vehicle manufacturing to the USA. With the removal of the mandate in the USA they will build build build ICE vehicles. That also means we may need to actually build a Canadian EV based on the RL concept vehicle.
Agree, as it should be.
