It's definitely libertarian and conservative (by Canadian standards). But that doesn't mean it can't be right. FWIW, it's high on the list of known/established Canadian think tanks.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has done its own reports on this [1].

This also seem to be true in the UK, but at least there they say the gap is closing [2].

The IFS report says what I've also observed and what this [3] economist article states:

"Wage differentials are relatively small in the public sector. Lower-level workers, such as secretaries, are usually better paid than their private-sector equivalents, whereas higher-level workers are worse paid."
