“In The Way Forward, government committed to renewing government operations and having a more efficient public sector is one of the policy actions to support that vision. It is important to note that the positions being eliminated are management, not front-line or client contact personnel, which means there will be no negative impact on clients.”

Minister Responsible for Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation
