OTTAWA 
Hold on to your hats, the economic recovery in the capital region could be brief.

The Ottawa-Gatineau economy could lose almost 10,000 government jobs over the next three years as new budget spending restraints cast a pall over the region.
In a new forecast Wednesday, the Conference Board of Canada predicted the decline could be the biggest since 1991-98 when 19,000 federal government jobs were lost to layoffs and budget cuts.
