Interesting tidbit from a briefing note about return-to-office plans at Infrastructure Canada. They're happy they've added a lot of staff who aren't in Ottawa or Montreal, where their main offices are, but aren't sure what they're going to do with those people's office arrangements.

Also, this math for HQ sounds ugly, with the physical space just barely able to accommodate the people who are being ordered to use it.
