Looking across Canada, while the staffing complement in most comparable Canadian municipalities has been increasing, Winnipeg’s complement has been decreasing. While our staff numbers decreased by just over 4% from 2004 to 2008, Edmonton’s increased by 22%, Calgary’s by 23%, Saskatoon’s by 11%, Ottawa’s by 15%, and Hamilton’s by 8%. Winnipeg also has one of the lowest staff-to-population ratios of any major Canadian city, at 12.6 staff per thousand residents. "
Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Ottawa, Hamilton.... oo gee all places that had population explosions....you know.. SO MORE WORKERS WERE REQUIRED
