:"The Canada Water Agency will cut about 13 jobs to absorb a $5-million budget cut, as Prime Minister Mark Carney seeks to reduce government spending."

$5M/13 = $385,000 a year to work at a government water agency? What's confusing? Ottawa is bloated.

Assuming that all of the $5m was to pay staff is myopic at best.

C'mon. You can do better than that.
