Women and Gender Equality Canada..........
+409% (+376)
RCMP External Review Committee..............
+317% (+19)
Infrastructure Canada...............................
+281% (+996)
Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.........
+157% (+132)
Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada...
+142% (+1,350)
Cumulatively,
+2873 people.
By absolute growth, the top 5 are:
Canada Revenue Agency.................................
+18,970 (+47%)
Employment and Social Development Canada....
+17,276 (+80%)
Indigenous Services Canada............................
+7,722 (did not exist, see below*)
Public Services and Procurement Canada...........
+6,022 (+50%)
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada...
+5,873 (+92%)
Cumulatively,
+55,863 people.
There's a little bit of distortion because of changing departments - for example, Polar Knowledge Canada had 89 employees in 2023, didn't exist in 2015, but there was the Canadian Polar Commission, that ended in 2015 with 14 employees.
*The biggest such example is Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, which still exists but dropped 2,204 employees or -53%, offsetting a third of Indigenous Services Canada growth above. If you combined those two, growth from 2015-2023 was
+5,242 (+112%), still putting it in the top 5.
Departments that didn't have employees in 2015, but do now, is
8086, but removing the already-discussed, Indigenous Services, it's only
364 people.
Departments that didn't have employees in 2023, but did in 2015, is
61 people
Lastly, the
Office of the Prime Minister, only had
1 employee in 2015 and 2021, and
0 the rest of the time.
