It's really hard to compare.
The Public Service needs a major rebuild, but that's aspect that hasn't particularly impressed me under Carney so far. Seems to be a classic slash and burn Conservative approach.

The federal portion of social safety net is 2-3 branches at 2-3 departments. The vastness of Canada is part of DFO and part of NRCan (and maybe part of Parks Canada). Overall a relatively small portion of 350k public servants.
