On July 6, Canada’s federal public servants began working in offices five days per week. The rule took effect without a well‑defined plan for how to make it happen. Unions said offices lack adequate space and tools for everyone to return. They also said the federal authorities gave no proof that working in offices extra days makes things more effective for the public.
The authority argued the changes will assist small businesses get more government contracts. Federal employees and news reporters still wonder if offices are set for so many people.
