Sounds like an excuse to make civil servants quit to avoid layoffs.
Really, we should be going the other way. Encouraging remote work would reduce the demand on overloaded transportation infrastructure, fuel use, and expensive urban housing, all of which would be societal benefits.

The civil service should be distributed across the country using telework to decentralize the economic benefit away from Ottawa.

The most likely reasoning is:
Forcing spending money (using transit, gas eating out, commercial rent) all makes the economy and GDP go up.
Being able to afford stuff and save for the future is not adding to the GDP..
The real problem is „trickle down“ economics is not working and the richest of rich are hoarding their money and it’s not going into the system.

Wait I thought conservatives were all about efficiency?
What’s so efficient about forcing people to spend more of their money and time to do something they could do at home? What is efficient about increasing traffic and pollution while decreasing worker happiness and satisfaction?
Maybe the cruelty is just the entire point.

great way to get the best performers to leave the public service, the rest to start spending ever more time trying to avoid compliance with RTO, and to wear even thinner our shoddy transit infrastructure.
If that’s what they’re hoping for then I’m sure this direction will be a smashing success.
