Do you have any numbers to back this up? And how exactly would you notice central agency staffers on roads or transit?
I don’t know how many Department of Finance and TBS staff are downtown, but it’s thousands. Same with the Department of Justice (also not a workplace that shuts at 4:30). Between EDC, CBC, the Bank of Canada, OSFI etc. you are looking at 5000 plus employees. And then you have the big law firms, the KPMGs, Deloittes etc. Not negligible by any stretch.
