Aside from the fact that this headline is cringey AF, THE PBO IS NOT A WATCHDOG! Stop calling him that! Read his legislated mandate. Honest to Hermes, you guys. You're just indulging his worst instincts.

EVENING BRIEF Fiscal watchdog says ‘woof’ Let's start with Parliament’s fiscal watchdog, who says spending on public servants will increase by nearly $7 billion over the next five years but those numbers could change if Prime Minister Mark Carney follows through on his plans to cut costs across government by 15 per cent.

Also, context. Is that a big increase relative to what we are spending now? Which public servants are getting this money? How does our spending compare to other countries?
