On July 6, Canada’s federal public servants started working in offices five days each week. The rule took effect without a clear plan for how to make it happen. Unions said offices lack adequate space and equipment for everyone to return. They also said the government gave no proof that working in offices extra days makes things better for the public.
The administration argued the changes will help small businesses get additional government contracts. civil servants and media reporters still question if offices are prepared for so many people.
