Clement explained that in the private sector, the dismissal rate for unsatisfactory performance is between 5 and 10 per cent while it is .06 per cent among federal public sector workers.

“There is simply no way that virtually every single person that the federal government hires is going to perform to the standard we expect,” he said in his 18-page speech to middle and senior managers.

Ottawa spends about $43 billion on public sector salaries and compensation.


That number cannot be correct can it? .06% dismissal rate?
