Documents obtained by CBC News say there are major cuts coming to DFO and the Canadian Coast Guard.
Fisheries and Oceans to 'shed' services
Employees of the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans were told Wednesday their employer will soon be significantly smaller, and responsible for fewer things.
DFO also warned its workers that some of them will definitely not be working there once the department completes a $56.8-million budget-cutting plan by 2014.
"More savings are expected in the future," said a letter signed by Deputy Minister Claire Dansereau and two other top officials.
The letter and supporting documents, which were obtained by CBC News, say reductions are part of a "dynamic change agenda," and will apply broadly to services that include the Canadian Coast Guard.
