STARTING MONDAY: As federal workers return to the office, some decry lack of direction, long commutes
But despite the fact that a back-to-office mandate for federal workers takes effect beginning this week, Hwang said his department has not offered any information about when he should return.
Mona Fortier, the president of the Treasury Board, told The Canadian Press in an interview that the purpose of the hybrid work model is to increase collaboration between colleagues. "As employees return to worksites, the level of service they have come to expect is not necessarily available in all government of Canada buildings," said the document, which outlined how the minister could respond to questions about the return-to-work plan in the House of Commons.
The return to work comes at a fraught time for public transit in the national capital region, where the federal government has a majority of its offices. Marty Carr, an Ottawa city councillor, has long been an advocate for better transit and said she wants public servants to have access to a good system.
